Zemka, Sue: Victorian Testaments. The Bible, Christology, and Literary Authority in Early Nineteenth Century British Culture.
-Stanford University Press, 1997-
viii+279 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. Victorian Testaments examines the changing nature of biblical and religious authority during the first half of the Victorian period. The book argues that these changes had a profound impact on concepts of cultural authority in general. Among the figures discussed are Coleridge, Thomas Arnold, Ruskin, Dickens, Florence Nightingale, and the missionaries of the British and Foreign Bible Society. In developing its picture of Victorian religious ideology, the book analyzes major works of the period, as well as works and documents that have received little critical attention. Its methods are interdisciplinary, building upon recent ideas in literary theory, cultural criticism, and gender studies.
