- Title
The Great Consummation: Christ and Epic in the Later Nineteenth Century.
- Authors
Ledger-Lomas, Michael
- Abstract
The article discusses Christian epic literature in the late periods of English Victorian history and focuses on the treatment of Jesus Christ as a literary figure in the epic poems "The Light of the World: Or, The Great Consummation" by Edwin Arnold and "The Pageant of Life: An Epic Poem in Five Books" by George Barlow. It presents an overview of how Arnold and Barlow treated Jesus differently as a character due to their religious beliefs and presents a discussion of topics such as Buddhist spirituality, comparative theology, and Victorian Christian thought.
