Description:Courses in religion and literature are becoming increasingly popular, not only on the campuses of religious colleges, but in the broader academic world. Unfortunately, there have been few anthologies which bring together in one volume a representative selection of material for such courses. Religion and Modern Literature has been specifically designed to meet this need.The essays collected here have been divided into three general areas. In the first section, contributions by T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and others are addressed to the theoretical relationship between religion and literature. The religious backgrounds of modem literature are treated in the second section, in essays by such distinguished critics as Nathan A. Scott, Jr., Edwin Muir, and Tom F. Driver. In the final section, religious dimensions in modem literature are discussed by Austin Warren, Cleanth Brooks, Robert McAfee Brown, and a dozen other writers.1.
