From the Back Cover "In this beautifully constructed and consistently stimulating volume, ElizabethLudlow and her contributors do a wonderful job of explaining why Christ wassuch an important figure in nineteenth-century thought. The collection is markedby its rich discussion, cohesive lines of argument, and interdisciplinary range." --Mark Knight, Professor, Lancaster University, UK "The Figure of Christ in the Long Nineteenth Century is a fascinating volume thatfills a gap in nineteenth-century scholarship, and restores to us a sense of howcentral, how vigorous, and at the same time how contested, the portrayal ofChrist was in this period. From the apocalyptic and visionary writing and art ofBlake, to the vivid re-imaginings of novelists and children's writers, from thepoetry and art of central and established figures like Tennyson and HolmanHunt, to the radical re-appraisals of the Chartist poets, these studies show howthe imaginative portrayal of Christ became a powerful way of expressing andsymbolising the great themes and controversies of this period. Elizabeth Ludlowhas done a fine job in selecting and editing these essays and her own work inthe field also makes a strong contribution to this volume." -- Malcolm Guite, Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, UK and author, poet and singer-songwriter This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that explores the variety of ways in which the interface between understanding the figure of Christ, theplace of the cross, and the contours of lived experience, was articulated throughthe long nineteenth century. Collectively, the chapters respond to thetheological turn in postmodern thought by asking vital questions about the wayin which representations of Christ shape understandings of personhood and ofthe divine.
