| Summary: | Onlya generation or so ago there were strong signs that those working in the field of Victorian Studies were settling on a secular reading of the period. Religion remained visible during this dark night of the soul (thanks in no small part to the work of scholars such as Elisabeth Jay, Michael Wheeler and T. R. Wright) but it was frequently obscured by other discourses that showed little or no interest in exploring their own theological roots and possibilities. Since then, there has been a renewal of scholarly interest in religion: from the vantage point of the twenty-first century, talk of an imminent end to the study of Victorian theology seems to have been unnecessarily apocalyptic. |
