The English Modernist Novel as Political Theology : Challenging the Nation

Exploring novels by Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Evelyn Waugh, and Sylvia Townsend Warner as political theology-works that imagine a resistance to the fusion of Christianity and patriotism which fueled and supported the First World War - this book shows how we can gain valuable insights from their works for anti-militarist, anti-statist, and anti-nationalist efforts today. Andrews demonstrates the many ways that these novelists issue a challenge to the problems with civil religion and the sacralized nation state and, in so doing, offer alternative visions to coordinate our inner lives with our public and collective actions--
