“Saxon in a Basilica”: Marilynne Robinson and the Reformed Tradition

Author(s): Sára Tóth
Subject(s): American Literature
Published by: Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem
Keywords: Protestantism; American transcendentalism; Marilynne Robinson; Jonathan Edwards; John Calvin

Summary/Abstract: Vehement as she is in her endeavour to rehabilitate Calvin and the Puritans, Marilynne Robinson’s treatment of the Protestant theological and spiritual tradition is both selective and biased. In this paper, I propose to treat these biases as significant shifts in interpretive emphasis, and I explore possible motives underlying her rereading project.
