Death, judgement, heaven and hell have long been the subject of anxious speculation and fierce controversy, and never more so in the modern era than in Victorian Britain. In this major illustrated study, Michael Wheeler, a literary critic and cultural historian of the period, looks at the literary implications of Victorian views of death and the life beyond. Victorian writings on the subject, notably major works by Tennyson, Dickens, Cardinal Newman, and Gerard Manley Hopkins, are shown to reopen key theoretical questions about the nature of religious experience, belief, and language in the nineteenth century.Wheeler, Michael is the author of 'Death and the Future Life in Victorian Literature and Theology - Michael Wheeler - Paperback' with ISBN 9780521306171 and ISBN 0521306175.
