  • 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.

  • A Journal of Mormon Thought
    Danger on the Right! Danger on the Left! The Ethics of Recent Mormon Fiction Eugene England THE FIRST EXAMPLE of what could be called a Mormon short story was 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 anthology, 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 char- acterization, 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, disor- derly 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 pur- poses. The story is important for my discussion here because of the au- thor's ability to create two characters so completely different from each other in perspective and purpose and keep us interested in, and even sympathetic to, both throughout the story. At the end, the Devil proposes, "What is the use of parting enemies, the fact is, you go in for the wheat and I for the tares.

Austin: The Brief History and Perpetually Exciting Future of Mormon Liter Essay The Brief History and PerKetually Exciting Future of Mormon Literary Studies Michael Austin In the middle years of the 1970s, Mormon literary studies seemed on the verge of becoming a big deal. Since 1966, Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought had been publishing poetry, literary fiction, and literary criticism by and about Latter-day Saints. And in 1974, a bold new magazine called Sunstone began publishing similar fare for a less academic audience. The same year, Richard Cracroft and Neal Lambert published the first edition of A Believing People, the first anthology of Mormon literature ever, to be used as the textbook in their Mormon literature course at Brigham Young University. And in 1976, the Asso- ciation for Mormon Letters (AML) held its first annual symposium in the Empire Room of the Hotel Utah, featuring papers on Mormonism and literature by such luminaries as Cracroft, Leonard Arrington, Bruce Jorgensen, and Arthur Henry King.1 For the next thirty-five years, the AML served as a nursemaid, shepherd, and cheerleader for the study of Mormon literature, hosting an annual symposium and giving awards for achievement in literary endeavors.

  • Articles Virginia Sorensen
    ARTICLES VIRGINIA SORENSEN: AN INTRODUCTION MARY L. BRADFORD MORMON READERS are rediscovering Virginia Sorensen. In her person and in her work, she combines many of the traits so often associated with Mormonism: a handcart pioneer heritage, a Danish, old world charm, a seeking spirit, an observant eye. She adds to these a childlike delight in living, a sense of humor, insightful attention to detail and the storyteller's ability to mesmerize. Born in Provo, Utah in 1912, she was the third of the six children born to Claude and Alice Eggertsen, both of pioneer stock. Eggertsen's work as rail- road agent led them from Provo to Manti and then to American Fork, three small towns that imprinted themselves upon her work. Following high school in American Fork, she returned to Provo to enter Brigham Young University as a journalism student. After a year there and another year in the University of Missouri's journalism school, she met and married Frederick Sorensen, also of Utah-Danish heritage. Sorensen was working toward his Ph.D. in English and philosophy at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. She graduated from BYU the same day her daughter Elizabeth (Beth) was born in June 1934. Her second child, Frederick, Jr. (Fred), was born two years later, and fpr the next twenty years or so, she led the life of a faculty wife, in Terre Haute, Indiana, in Denver, Colorado, in Auburn, Alabama and in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Her marriage to Sorensen lasted twenty-five years. In 1967 she married Alec Waugh, the British novelist and travel writer (brother to Evelyn) whom she had met at MacDowell Colony, the New Hamsphire retreat for artists and writers.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    VIRGINIA SORENSEN Virginia Sorensen was born Virginia Eggertsen in Provo, Utah, in 1912 and spent the formative years from age five to thirteen in Manti, Utah. She graduated from American Fork High School, and later from Brigham Young University (1934), and she also studied at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and at Stanford University. She married Frederick Sorensen and lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, in Denver, Colorado, in Auburn, Alabama, and in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. After the dissolution of her marriage to Sorensen, she married the English writer Alec Waugh and lived with him in Morocco from 1967 to 1980, when she returned to the United States. Sorensen′s fiction writing reflects what she termed "the real dilemma of the novelist in our time and place . to somehow balance the importance of the individual . with the importance of the great events that wash people into vast groups and crowds, into anonymous armies." Her critically well received first novel, A Little Lower than the Angels (1942), deals with the beginnings of polygamy in Mormon Nauvoo. On This Star (1946), The Evening and the Morning (1949), Many Heavens (1954), and Where Nothing Is Long Ago (1963) all focus on conflicts between independent-minded individuals and Mormon small­ town society. Sorensen was twice awarded Guggenheim fellowships. The first resulted in The Proper Gods (1951), which follows the efforts of a deracinated Yaqui Indian to recover his ancestral traditions. A second Guggenheim supported research in Denmark that enabled Sorensen to write Kingdom Come (1960), an imaginative recreation of the lives of Danish converts to Mormonism during the 1850s.

  • The Dawning of a Brighter Day: Mormon Literature After 150 Years
    The Dawning of a Brighter Day: Mormon Literature after 150 Years By Eugene England This is drawn from remarks given as the Charles C. Redd Address given at BYU in February 1980. The full talk is published as part of the Charles C. Redd Lecture Series, No. 13, Mormonism after 150 Years . The title is taken from the chorus of Parley P. Pratt's hymn, “The Morning Breaks.” Originally published : BYU Studies 22, no.2 (Spring 1982): 1–28. Ask You to consider the following: Mormonism is a genuine religious I movement, with persistent and characteristic religious and cultural experiences growing out of a unique and coherent theology and a true and thus powerful mythic vision, and it has already produced and is producing the kinds and quality of litera - ture that such experiences and vision might be expected to produce; it is, in fact, right now enjoying a kind of bright dawning, if not a flowering then certainly a profuse and lovely budding, in its literary history. Many of us, at least until recently, could be excused for not knowing there is a Mormon literature. A serious anthology of Mormon literature, providing a full view of the quality and variety over our nearly 150-year history, was first published only a few years ago. That was Richard Cracroft and Neal Lambert’s A Believing People .1 At about the same time, these two scholars inaugurated, at Brigham Young univer - sity, the first course in Mormon literature. The Association for Mormon Letters, the first professional organization intended to study and encourage Mormon literature, is only a few years old.
