- Summary:
- As the eponymous sacred text of a modern religious movement of global reach, 'The Book of Mormon' has undeniable historical significance. That significance, this volume shows, is inextricable from the intricacy of its literary form and the audacity of its historical vision. This landmark collection brings together a diverse range of scholars in American literary studies and adjacent fields to definitively establish 'The Book of Mormon' as an indispensable object of Americanist inquiry not least because it is, among other things, a form of Americanist inquiry in its own right - a creative, critical reading of "America."
