In this tradition, Catholicism is depicted as threatening to break down borders separating American citizens--or some representative American--from a larger world beyond. While earlier studies of Catholicism in the American literary imagination have tended to highlight the faith's historical association with Europe, O'Gorman stresses how that imagination often responds to a Catholicism associated with Latin America and the Caribbean. On a deeper level, O'Gorman demonstrates how the Gothic tradition he traces here builds on and ultimately transforms the persistent image in modern Anglophone literature of Catholicism as "a religion without a country; indeed, a religion inimical to nationhood." O'Gorman focuses on the work of J. Hector St. John de CreÌvecoeur, Herman Melville, Kate Chopin, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, Cormac McCarthy, and selected contemporary writers including Toni Morrison. These authors, representing historical periods from the early republic to the present day, have distinct experiences of borders within and around their nation and hemisphere, itself an ever-emergent "America." As O'Gorman carefully documents, they also have distinct experiences of Catholicism and distinct ways of imagining the faith, often shaped at least in part within the Church itself. In their narratives, Catholicism plays a complicated and profound role that ultimately challenges longstanding notions of American exceptionalism and individual autonomy. This analysis contributes not only to discourse regarding Gothic literature and nationalism but also to a broader ongoing dialogue regarding religion, secularism, and American literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 $a Catholic Church $x In literature. 610 27 $a Catholic Church. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00531720 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Gothic revival (Literature) $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Catholics in literature. 650 0 $a Nationalism and literature $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Catholic fiction $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christianity / Literature & the Arts. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christianity / Catholic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Gothic & Romance. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Catholic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849175 650 7 $a Catholics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849332 650 7 $a Gothic revival (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945084 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Nationalism and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033884 650 7 $a Religion and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093839 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a O'Gorman, Farrell, author. $t Catholicism and American borders in the Gothic literary imagination $d Notre Dame : University of Notre Dame Press, 2017 $z 9780268102197 $w (DLC) 2017036803 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605014418.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710024148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=555C8F96C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
