EBOOK Religious Liberties Anti-Catholicism and Liberal Democracy in Nineteenth-Century U.S. Literatu
Opis
Early and nineteenth-century U.S. literary and cultural productions often presented Catholicism as a threat not only to Protestantism but also to democracy. Through analysis of a wide range of texts, Religious Liberties shows that U.S. understandings of religious freedom and pluralism emerged, paradoxically, out of a virulent anti-Catholicism.
