Descrizione Catholic Sensationalism and Victorian Literature
Exotic, corrupt, and dangerous, Roman Catholicism functioned in the popular Victorian imagination as a highly sensationalized and implacably anti-English enemy. Maureen Moran's lively study considers a wide range of key authors--including Charlotte Bronte, Robert Browning, Wilkie Collins, and George Eliot, as well as a number of non-canonical writers--to give a detailed account of the cultural tensions between Catholics and Protestants. Moran shows that rather than representing a traditional religious schism, the demonizing of Catholics resulted from secular fears over crime, sex, and violence.
