This book reflects the current state of research in the field of the spiritual in British literature, where spirituality is understood as a culturally-determined, universal phenomenon or a factuality of humanity, consisting of the living apprehension of the 'Sacred' during rare gratuitous moments of illumination. With critical essays by scholars working in various disciplines (English studies, music, the arts, psychology, theology, etc.), the book explores a corpus of encoded narratives of - as well as reflections on - the 'Sacred' in British literature, from the Late Middle Ages to the present. Multi-disciplinary in nature and interdisciplinary in method, British Literature and Spirituality illustrates the hermeneutic potential of readings that transcend the disciplinary boundaries of spiritual writings.

This collection of essays considers the return of the religious in contemporary literary studies. In the twenty-first century it is now possible to detect a new sacred 'turn' in thought and writing. For some writers, this post-secular identity plays itself out in both a recuperation of religious traditions (Catholicism, Puritanism, Judaism) and a re-invention of the religious imaginary (apophaticism, messianism, apocalypticism, fundamentalism). In literary studies, the implications of the post-secular are revitalizing critical engagement with canonical works and fuelling the reclaiming of neglected writings as questions of the construction of spiritual identities come once again to the fore.

In the world of the 1700s, great novels played the role of self-help, moral and religious books. That role, while overlooked, is still important today. The Robinsonade is a classical plot outline, which began with the novel Robinson Crusoe. The Robinsonade is a spiritual metaphor for the spiritual journey of brokenness and aloneness. The classical plot device is deeply rooted in the spirituality of the parables. In particular, we see the parable of the prodigal son and Christ's own experience in the desert as the spiritual basis for these great classics. Furthermore, these classical tales support the very principles found in our great social programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and twelve-step groups. This book offers a new look than that of the classics. It opens new spiritual insights and resources for the reader. Writers such as St. Augustine and C. S. Lewis have supported this potential of the classics to offer aid and perspective to our lives. The classics offer comfort for our brokeness and aloneness. Working in tandem with our faith, we can strengthen hope through the classics. In our brokenness and aloneness, we are offered the weakness that St. Paul said could be converted into strength. The classics acknowledge the great attraction of this condition. It is in journeys of many and the searching. The classics were written by men of faith and spirituality, which may explain why they have fallen out of favor in today's society. Still, there is a revival under way as people are going back to these old tales.

s suspicious as one often is of the other, literature and spirituality enjoy a rich and deep relationship. They have been inextricably linked since narrative and symbol first met in the earliest biblical writings. Story, poetry and drama have always been used to express the human search for religious meaning and to modulate the divine voice. Equally, 'Take Christianity out of English literature,' asks Ronald Blythe in this book, 'and what is left?' In this fascinating and spirited collection of essays the novelist Penelope Lively explores fiction writing as an act of creation with its clear spiritual resonances. A. N. Wilson inveighs against the modern church for its desecration of the language which shaped and nurtured it. The poet David Scott looks at the lonely, subversive calling of the priest-poet from Caedmon to R. S. Thomas, and Richard Marsh considers David Jones's writings in the First World War where, for many, religion turned to mud and the only way across that vast no man's land was by the same ancient way of myth and symbol, the way that literature and spirituality have travelled together since the beginning.

This Study Offers A Fresh Perspective On Mysticism In Literature, Relating And Balan¬Cing The Western And Eastern Approaches.

The Book Has A Strong Textual Base And Will Be Of Interest To The General Reader As Well As To The Specialist Eager To Explore Comparative Literary Contexts. ...Mr. Dhar Has Studied The Subject With Loving Care, And He Has Imposed His Own Insight Quietly But Firmly In A Way Which Can Justifiably Be Commended As Original Work. Professor J.R. Watson, University Of Durham, England ...The Analysis Of Patmore S Poetry In The Specific Context Of The Combination Of The Erotic With The Divine Is Important (Chap¬Ter Iii). This Is An Area In Which The Indian Bhakti Poets Have Composed Their Finest Poems...The Discussion Of The Transcen¬Dental And The Immanent Aspects Of Mysticism And Their Impact On Patmore And Thompson Is A Very Refreshing Part Of This Valuable Study And Deserves Appreciation. Professor V.A. Shahane, Osmania University, Hyderabad ...It Is One Of The Attractions Of The Present Book That Dr. Dhar, Writing From Within The Traditions Of India Adds A Further Ring, Learned In His Understanding Of Christianity, Especially In His Sense Of The Central Importance Of The Incarna¬Tion, He Adds The Insights Of Another Spirituality, Not Dissonant But Distinct And So Additionally Illuminating. It Is A Book Much To Be Enjoyed And Savoured. Ronald Tamplin, University Of Exeter

Fictional literature, when enkindled with spiritual ideas, creates an appeal that transcends time and place. This has been the case with many literary works produced in India and other parts of the world, and this is so even in our modern times characterized by consumerist culture that hardly sees below the surface of things. A compilation from ‘Prabuddha Bharata’, this book presents to the readers, through a series of articles, a systematic record of some of those writers who added the spiritual dimension to their fictional works in India and the Americas.
