Literary theology by women writers of the nineteenth century

"Literary Theology contains a considerable body of material. It focuses on not one writer, but a wide range of writers, and each is studied in relation to a different conceptual context. Each chapter takes into account conventions of a different literary genre in relation to the woman writer [the periodical article, lyric poetry, the novel, collective biography, and the political speech]; and a different theological tradition [feminist Bible criticism, Liberation Theology, Unitarianism, Evangelicalism, and Romantic spirituality]. The book is thus the fruit of considerable research efforts, and presents five distinctive arguments within a broad framework of ‘women’s literary theology’."
