Résumé: | Taking Milton as a case study, this essay considers the historical relationship between Christianity and literature in order to speculate on potential futures for the discipline in the age of the “nones” (people without a religious affiliation). Two approaches that decenter Christianity—the lenses of religious pluralism and philosophy—reveal how Milton and other Christian authors can speak to readers at large and not just an audience of like-minded believers. |
