Since the 1960s, historical novels have been a dominant literary genre, but they have been influenced primarily not by Christian but by postmodern and marxist thinkers and writers. This book provides a theological and literary analysis of all three types of historical novels--postmodern, marxist, and Christian--and outlines what each school of thought can learn from each other regarding historical understanding and hope. Using JuÌrgen Moltmann's theology of hope and Frank Kermode's literary criticism as a theoretical basis, the book offers readings of novels by Julian Barnes, A.S. Byatt, Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Ian McEwan, and Ursula LeGuin, among others, and ends with an extended analysis of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead series"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Historical fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Postmodernism (Literature) 650 0 $a Philosophy, Marxist, in literature. 650 0 $a Christianity and literature. 776 08 $i Online version: $a W.
