Secularism in Antebellum America: With Reference to Ghosts, Protestant Subcultures, Machines, and Their Metaphors
John Lardas Modern
Ghosts.
Railroads. Sing Sing. Sex machines. These are just a few of the
phenomena that appear in John Lardas Modern’s pioneering account of
religion and society in nineteenth-century America. This book uncovers
surprising connections between secular ideology and the rise of
technologies that opened up new ways of being religious. Exploring the
eruptions of religion in New York’s penny presses, the budding fields of
anthropology and phrenology, and Moby-Dick,
Modern challenges the strict separation between the religious and the
secular that remains integral to discussions about religion today.
