Beskrivning
As the sacred text of a modern religious movement of global reach, The Book of Mormon has undeniable historical significance. That significance, this volume shows, is inextricable from the intricacy of its literary form and the audacity of its historical vision. This landmark collection brings together a diverse range of scholars in American literary studies and related fields to definitively establish The Book of Mormon as an indispensable object of Americanist inquiry not least because it is, among other things, a form of Americanist inquiry in its own right--a creative, critical reading of "America." Drawing on formalist criticism, literary and cultural theory, book history, religious studies, and even anthropological field work, Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon captures as never before the full dimensions and resonances of this "American Bible."

Recensioner i media

This volume of essays succeeds in demonstrating to secular scholars that the Book of Mormon is a supremely valuable object with which to study many of the central themes of nineteenth-century American life. But it also succeeds and showing faithful, but perhaps bored, Latter-day Saints that there is much more to the Book of Mormon than meets the Sunday school eye.
