THE ROMANCE OF FAITH: MARY WARD'S ROBERT ELSMERE AND RICHARD MEYNELL [Elektronische Daten] [Judith Wilt] Mary Ward's 1888 novel Robert Elsmere and its 1911 sequel, The Case of Richard Meynell, are interesting not only as portraits of religious reformers. Two in a long line of fictional Romances of Property which regard English Christianity as one of those properties, the novels participate in the equivocal arousals, validaitons and deferrals of that "force” which is faith, and which is needed to establish, and defend, "property”. Elsmere resigns his church property as his faith evolves, and "sacralizes” secular peoperties, but Meynell calims his church, forcing the authorities to drive him out. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence Literature and Theology Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-03), 33-43 0269-1205 10:1<33 1996 10 litthe https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.1.33 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.1.33 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Wilt Judith Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, U.S.A NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Literature and Theology Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-03), 33-43 0269-1205 10:1<33 1996 10 litthe Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
