- The research for this 354-page book took over ten years since it seeks to narrate the implicit theological engagement of a large, diverse body of fiction from about 1750 to the present day. Moreover, it reaches further back to establish the origins of the genre of fiction in Reformation historiography and theology. Its argument is revisionist, engaging in a variety of scholarly fields in order to challenge widespread critical assumptions. Establishing these claims entailed extended and complex critical engagement with historians and theologians in addition to the fictional writers.
