Description:"Bigger Than ‘Ben-Hur’ is nothing short of amazing. It will become a standard work on the text. By offering incisive essays on everything from the novel’s narrative structure to its religious, political, and gendered resonances to its constantly evolving representations on the stage, screen, and in commodity culture, Ryan and Shamir shed much-needed light on a book that absolutely dominated late nineteenth-century print culture but that has been almost totally forgotten today."—Paul Gutjahr, professor of English, American studies, and religious studies, University of Indiana"The fascinating essays in this book, written by specialists in a broad range of disciplines, show that the Ben-Hur tradition is not only "bigger than Ben-Hur" but still very much with us today, as we await the release of yet another cinematic interpretation of this iconic story."—Adele Reinhartz, professor of classics and religious studies, University of Ottawa"A wonderful contribution to the study of American popular culture, and especially valuable to scholars interested in reception across genres. Taken together, these essays beautifully illustrate the multiple dimensions—literary, religious, historical—of Wallace’s text, illuminating larger issues of appropriation in the process."—Joan Shelley Rubin, Dexter Perkins Professor in History, University of RochesterWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
