The World of Mr Casaubon: Britain's Wars of Mythography, 1700–1870 - Ideas in Context
Kidd, Colin (University of St Andrews, Scotland)
While the efforts of George Eliot's fictional Mr Casaubon to create a 'Key to All Mythologies' may seem fruitless and obscure, Colin Kidd's interdisciplinary study excavates Casaubon's hinterland and illuminates the fierce ideological war which raged over the use of pagan myths to defend Christianity from radical Enlightenment thought.
