Description: Viper on the Hearth : Mormons, Myths, and the Construction of Heresy, Hardcover by Givens, Terryl L., ISBN 0195101839, ISBN-13 9780195101836, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK The Viper on the Hearth is the first full-length study to look at representations of Mormonism in popular fiction, enhancing our understanding of the religion's vexed relationship to American society. Th reconsiders the nature of Mormonism's encounter with mainstream religion, and asks how a category like "heresy" can operate in a pluralistic society. Examining the ways in which Mormons have been portrayed in popular culture, Givens's study demonstrates how fiction can respond to cultural conflicts and anxieties by refashioning heresy into a more appropriate target for moral and political crusades.
