Beskrivning
Shortlisted for the AAR Book Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion 2023Organized by heretical movements and texts from the Gnostic Gospels to The Book of Mormon, this book uses the work of James Joyce – particularly Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake – as a prism to explore how the history of Christian heresy remains part of how we read, write, and think about books today.Erickson argues that the study of classical, medieval, and modern debates over heresy and orthodoxy provide new ways of understanding modernist literature and literary theory. Using Joyce’s works as a springboard to explore different perspectives and intersections of 20th century literature and the modern literary and religious imagination, this book gives us new insights into how our modern and “secular” reading practices unintentionally reflect how we understand our religious histories.

Recensioner i media

Erickson’s book represents a major intellectual labour: it synthesizes more than a decade of cross-disciplinary study, and Erickson integrates an account of that journey into his argument … Erickson is an ingenious and engaging reader of Joyce … [R]eaders will be amply rewarded for taking the journey with him.
