PULP METHODISM: THE LIVES & LITERATURE OF SILAS, JOSEPH & SALOME HOCKING
By Alan Kent
The three Hockings churned out over 200 novels largely for a Methodist readership, and were the best selling authors at the time, in the United States. They were sometimes dismissed by the literary establishment as only offering "pulp" fiction.
This book provides an intorduction to the works of the Hockings and gives a biographical account set in the culture and philosophy of that time.
Both scholarly and accessible this book will appeal to all interested in Cornish writing and the boundaries between literature and religion within Methodism. Soft Cover, 6x9, 240 pages, $28.00
