  • The Poetics of Provincialism: Mormon Regional Fiction
    The Poetics of Provincialism: Mormon Regional Fiction EDWARD A. GEARY THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS have been a source of sensationalistic subject matter for popular novelists almost since the beginning of the Church. But the Mormon novel as a treatment of Mormon materials from a Mormon point of view has come from two main wellsprings. The first was the "home literature" movement of the 1880s, the goal of which, according to Orson F. Whitney, was to produce a "pure and powerful literature" as an instrument for spreading the gospel, a literature which, "like all else with which we have to do, must be made subservient to the building up of Zion."1 Even though its early practitioners are little read today—Nephi Anderson is the chief exception—the influence of home literature remains strong. It provides the guiding principles by which fiction and poetry are selected for the official church magazines, and it is also reflected in such popular works in Mormondom as Saturday's Warrior and Beyond This Moment. However, home literature has not had the impact on the world that Brother Whitney hoped for. It has not led to the development of "Miltons and Shakespeares of our own."2 Good fiction is seldom written to ideological specifications. It is one thing to ask the artist to put his religious duties before his literary vocation or to write from his deepest convictions. It is quite another to insist that he create from a base in dogma rather than a base in experience. Good fiction, as Virginia Sorensen has said, is "one person's honest report upon life,"3 and in home literature the report usually fails to ring true.

  • Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects by Eugene England
    Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects By Eugene England This essay is the culmination of several attempts England made throughout his life to assess the state of Mormon literature and letters. The version below, a slightly revised and updated version of the one that appeared in David J. Whittaker, ed., Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995), 455–505, is the one that appeared in the tribute issue Irreantum published following England’s death. Originally published in: Irreantum 3, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 67–93. This, the single most comprehensive essay on the history and theory of Mormon literature, first appeared in 1982 and has been republished and expanded several times in keeping up with developments in Mormon letters and Eugene England’s own thinking. Anyone seriously interested in LDS literature could not do better than to use this visionary and bibliographic essay as their curriculum. 1 ExpEctations MorMonisM hAs bEEn called a “new religious tradition,” in some respects as different from traditional Christianity as the religion of Jesus was from traditional Judaism. 2 its beginnings in appearances by God, Jesus Christ, and ancient prophets to Joseph smith and in the recovery of lost scriptures and the revelation of new ones; its dramatic history of persecution, a literal exodus to a promised land, and the build - ing of an impressive “empire” in the Great basin desert—all this has combined to make Mormons in some ways an ethnic people as well as a religious community. Mormon faith is grounded in literal theophanies, concrete historical experience, and tangible artifacts (including the book of Mormon, the irrigated fields of the Wasatch Front, and the great stone pioneer temples of Utah) in certain ways that make Mormons more like ancient Jews and early Christians and Muslims than, say, baptists or Lutherans.

  • Danger on the Right! Danger on the Left!: the Ethics of Recent Mormon Fiction by Eugene England
    Danger on the Right! Danger on the Left!: The Ethics of Recent Mormon Fiction By Eugene England An essay in which England decries a trend in LDS fiction away from “ethical fiction,” which he describes as having the purpose of persuading us “to understand better the values we do or might live by and thus to choose better, to be more humane, sympathetic, compas - sionate, at least more courageous, more able to endure.” Originally published : Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 32, no.3 (Fall 1999), 13–30. HE FIRST EXAMPLE of what could be called a Mormon short story was T written by an apostle, Parley P. Pratt. It was published in the New York Herald on January 1, 1844, and collected in Richard Cracroft’s and Neal Lambert’s anthol - ogy, A Believing People: Literature of the Latter-day Saints (Provo, Utah: BYU Press, 1974). It is called “A Dialogue between Joe Smith and the Devil” and is quite witty, imaginative in setting and characterization, lively in its language, and, though clearly pro-Mormon, aimed at a non-Mormon audience. It consists wholly of a conversation between Joseph Smith and “his Satanic majesty,” whom Joseph inter - rupts putting up handbills calling for all “busy bodies, pickpockets, vagabonds, filthy persons, and all other infidels and rebellious, disorderly persons, for a crusade against . the Mormons.” The story has an obvious didactic purpose, as Elder Pratt has the Devil bring up most of the central precepts of Mormon doctrine, such as “direct communication with God,” and then indirectly praise them by pointing out how powerful they are and destructive to his own evil purposes.

  • Joseph Smith: Rough Rolling Stone, a Cultural Biography of Mormonism’S Founder
    Book Reviews 255 Book Reviews RICHARD LYMAN BUSHMAN, Joseph Smith: Rough Rolling Stone, A Cultural Biography of Mormonism’s Founder. (New York: Knopf, 2005. Notes, Bibliography, Photographs, Maps, Index. $35.00 hardback.) Reviewed by Thomas G. Alexander, who is the Lemuel Hardison Redd Jr. Professor Emeritus of Western American History at Brigham Young University. The Gouverneur Morris Professor of History, Emeritus, at Columbia University, Richard Bushman, previously published Joseph Smith and the Beginnings of Mormonism (1984) and such works in colonial and early national American history as From Puritan to Yankee: Character and Social Order in Connecticut, 1690–1795 (1967); King and People in Provincial Massachusetts (1985); and The Refinement of America: Persons, Houses, Cities (1992). Now we have his long-awaited, full-length biography of Joseph Smith. Scholars and lay persons alike have waited for years for a biography of Joseph Smith that treated him as a believing religious leader, consid- ered the extensive primary and secondary sources available, and did not shy from addressing controversial topics. Bushman offers all of those things, thus eclipsing previous works such as George Q. Cannon’s lauda- tory and uncritical Life of Joseph Smith, the Prophet (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor, 1888); John Henry Evans’s topically organized Joseph Smith, An American Prophet (New York: Macmillan, 1933); Fawn M. Brodie’s naturalistically interpreted No Man Knows My History, The Life of Joseph Smith, the Mormon Prophet (New York: Knopf, 1945, 1971); and Donna Hill’s admirable effort, Joseph Smith: The First Mormon (Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1977). The careful reader is struck by a number of significant features of this 256 Mormon Historical Studies book.

  • The Function of Mormon Literary Criticism at the Present Time
    NOTES AND COMMENTS The Function of Mormon Literary Criticism at the Present Time Michael Austin IN HIS HILARIOUS SHORT STORY "Conversion of the Jews/' Philip Roth gives us one of the most endearing unimportant characters in our national lit- erature: Yakov Blotnik, an old janitor at a Jewish Yeshiva who, upon see- ing that a yeshiva student was standing on a ledge threatening to kill himself, goes off mumbling to himself that such goings-on are "no-good- for-the-Jews." "For Yakov Blotnik," Roth tells us in an aside, "life frac- tionated itself simply: things were either good-for-the-Jews or no-good- for-the-Jews."1 This basic binary opposition, which I have named the "Blotnik dichotomy" in honor of its distinguished inventor, has, with mi- nor variations and revisions, begun to assert itself prominently in a num- ber of recent discussions of Mormon literature. The taxonomies that have come from these discussions tend to dichotomize Mormon letters into separate camps—such as "mantic" versus "sophic," "faithful realism" versus "faithless fiction," or "home literature" versus "the Lost Genera- tion."2 Each of these pairings suggests that at the heart of the Mormon lit- erary consciousness lies a conception that Mormon literature can be 1. Philip Roth, Goodbye Columbus (New York: Bantam, 1963), 108. 2. Most of these terms have been in wide use by scholars of Mormon literature for some time. The "mantic-sophic" dichotomy was introduced by Richard Cracroft in his presidential address at the Association for Mormon Letters in 1992, which was later published as "Attun- ing the Authentic Mormon Voice: Stemming the Sophic Tide in LDS Literature," Sunstone 16 (July 1993): 51-57.
