This study examines why, in modern secular society, so many of the finest British and American women novelists seem preoccupied with Biblical themes and stories. It offers informed and challenging analysis of individual novels and stories for the literary critic and student. By analyzing those texts in the context of myth and religion, however, it also makes a contribution to a number of the interdisciplinary debates taking place within women's studies.
