By outlining Protestantism and Englishness in early-modern literature to the present-day, this study reveals how other religious identities can be alienated in British society.
Jo Carruthers is Research Council Academic Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK.

Critique that is incisive, rigorous and compassionate, unflinching in its interrogation of secularist presuppositions and yet unpolemical, Carruther's volume shows the vitality of the new religion and literature and all it has to offer to mainstream English studies. If this is the harbinger of post-secular scholarship, give me more.
