"This is an impressively researched study of the interplay of history, religion, politics, culture, and literature from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuryIt is also a vigorously engaged intervention in these matters as they continue to play out in our own day." (Edward Duffy, Review 19) "Through a wonderful set of readings, Colin Jager makes vital claims about secularity and the specters that haunt it-in literature, and perhaps in the very articulation of the literary itself." (Amy Hollywood, Harvard Divinity School)
