Taylor & Francis Ltd Dickens and the Bible
Book SynopsisAt a time when biblical authority was under challenge from the Higher Criticism and evolutionary science, what providence meant' was the most keenly contested of questions. This book takes up the controversial subject of Dickens and religion, and offers a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary area of religion and literature. In a close study of major novels, it argues that networks of biblical allusion reveal the Judeo-Christian grand narrative as key to his development as a writer, and as the ontological ground on which he stands to appeal to the conscience of a Christian people'. Engaging the biblical narrative in dialogue with other contemporary narratives that concern themselves with origins, destinations, and hermeneutic decipherments, the inimitable Dickens affirms the Bible's still-active role in popular culture. The providential thinking of two twentieth-century theorists, Bakhtin and Ricoeur, sheds light on an exploration of Dickens's narrative theology. Trade Review"Comprehensive, lucid, brilliant, illuminating, and readable, Dickens and the Bible: What Providence Meant explains how the Judeo-Christian grand narrative extending from Eden to the Fall and finally to salvation--the providential plot--structures Dickens’s stories. Jennifer Gribble places his work, appropriately, in the midst of the religious wars that racked Britain in the nineteenth century. She also demonstrates the ways in which the conflicts between theories of divine order, natural selection, and human choice resound in the theories of our time, and discovers how they are richly and complexly embedded in Dickens’s writings and artistic credo." Robert L. Patten, Lynette S. Autrey Professor Emeritus in Humanities, and Emeritus Professor of English, Rice University"How might we understand the theological references that permeate the work of Charles Dickens? It’s a challenging question, and one that has proved difficult for generations of critics. With this in mind, I am immensely grateful for Jennifer Gribble’s wonderful new book. Bringing together an attentive reading of Dickens with a rare level of theological sensitivity and understanding, Gribble helps us to register the complexity of religion in the work of this influential Victorian author and see why the theological references matter."

Mark Knight, Professor in Literature, Religion, and Victorian Studies, Lancaster University."For scholars interested in Dickens’s religion (not to mention Victorian providentialism more broadly), this is a necessary study, one that joins the likes of Janet Larsen’s The Broken Scripture, Dennis Walder’s Dickens and Religion, and Mark Knight’s recent series of chapters and essays on the author. We owe Gribble a debt of gratitude for this sensitive, wide-ranging, and luminous consideration of Dickens’s engagement with the Judeo-Christian “grand narrative.”" Winter Jade Werner, Wheaton CollegeTable of ContentsIntroduction1 Contexts2 In the Beginning: From Pickwick to Scrooge3 Dombey and Son: ‘What the Waves Were Always Saying’4 Bleak House: Expecting a Judgement5 Little Dorrit and the Coming of the Kingdom6 Last Things: Redemption, Resurrection, and the Life Everlasting

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bringing Up WarBabies
Book SynopsisThe figure of the wartime child in the mid-twentieth century unsettles and disturbs. This book employs a range of material â biographical, literary and historical â to chart some of the surprising and unanticipated crossovers between womenâs writing and early psychoanalysis in the years of the Second World War and the decades before and after. This volume includes examples of childrenâs adventure fiction, as well as works written for adult audiences and important and previously unrecognized similarities are noted.The war was a disruptive influence in the lives of all who lived through it. Although active self-censorship is observed in the behaviour and attitudes of adults at this time, this book demonstrates how fictional children are able to articulate feelings such as anxiety and fear that adults were under pressure to conceal or to repress and at times, the figure of the wartime child becomes a surrogate for the writer herself or her suppressed fears and anxiety. WhTable of Contents1. Adventures and Analysis: Anxiety, Danger and Psychoanalysis in three 1940s Children’s Adventure Novels 2. Containment and Mothering 3. Social Reform, Welfare and the Child at Mid-Century 4. Evacuation and Enuresis: The Chameleon Child 5. Literary Mothers 6. Postwar Parenting and Ambivalence
