{"product_id":"9783032197351","title":"Spiritual Responses to American Literary Modernism : Watering the Wasteland (Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religions)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection addresses the gap in American critical history regarding the role of spiritual discourse in literary modernism of the 1920s and 1930s. No book-length research has yet been published about spirituality and American Literary Modernism, with the exception of a few books on individual authors. The majority of the primary and critical material this book examines has been either rarely or incompletely considered from this angle. The volume highlights those American writers and texts who insisted on the spiritual relevance of literature, despite the growing secularity of literary modernism, bringing together a range of scholars to inspire both professors and students of American literature to look again and reconsider the spiritual discourse represented in the literature between the World Wars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSECTION ONE:  Religious Reconciliations and Redefinitions of Modernism.- Chapter 1: \u003cem\u003eThe American Review\u003c\/em\u003e and the Theopoetics of Interwar Modernism .- Chapter 2: A Tale of Two Immigrant Toms: The Anglo-American Ascetic Response to Modernism .- Chapter 3: God, the Middlebrow, and \u003cem\u003eThe Bookman\u003c\/em\u003e .- Chapter 4:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Wolfe Confronts Modernism s Futility People .- SECTION TWO:  Gendered Regenerations.- Chapter 5: To Market, to Market: Jesse Redmon Fauset s Critique of Secular Materialism as Spiritual Death in \u003cem\u003ePlum Bun\u003c\/em\u003e .- Chapter 6: Making the Jump : Eudora Welty s Empathy as Antidote to Modernist Alienation\".- Chapter 7: Redemption, Regeneration and the Gothic Sublime in Djuna Barnes \u003cem\u003eNightwood .- \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 8:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eIn Love with Life s Spirit: Idealistic Devotion in Willa Cather s \u003cem\u003eShadows on the Rock \u003c\/em\u003e(1931) and \u003cem\u003eLucy Gayheart \u003c\/em\u003e(1935) .- SECTION THREE:   Doubt and Degradation as Displaced Faith and Transcendence.- Chapter 9: \"Love and Loss and Questions Without Answers: Faith and Doubt in \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge of San Luis Rey\".-  \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 10: Faulkner s Darl as Modernist Scapegoat .- Chapter 11: Henry Miller s spiritual quest: sow strife and ferment so that... the dead may be restored to life\".- Chapter 12: The Abyss of Faith in \u003cem\u003eThe Big Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindy Counsell Petrie\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at Azusa Pacific University, USA.
