Playing on the frequently used metaphors of the 'turn toward' or 'turn back' in scholarship on religion, The Turn Around Religion in America offers a reading of religion that moves in a reciprocal relationship between these poles. With essays on Pietro di Donato, Herman Melville, Miguel Algarin, Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Emmanuel Levinas, among others, this volume builds on Sacvan Bercovitch's foundational insights into how religion works in American literature.
