Biographical note
Roger Kojecký is Secretary of the Christian Literary Studies Group and Editor of its journal, The Glass. He is among the contributors to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the Dictionary of Biblical Imagery (IVP), and has lectured recently at universities in Krakow, Olomouc, Toronto and Beijing.Andrew Tate is Senior Lecturer in English and Associate Director of the Ruskin Programme at Lancaster University, where he teaches nineteenth and twentieth-century literature. He is the author of three books: Douglas Coupland (2007), Contemporary Fiction and Christianity (2008) and, with Arthur Bradley, The New Atheist Novel: Fiction, Philosophy and Polemic After 9/11 (2010).“Visions and Revisions collects a series of imaginative and pioneering studies in the ever-developing field of religion and literature. Kojecký and Tate bring together some of the most exciting current reflections on belief, creativity, imagination and politics through a distinctive re-mapping of the literary and poetic through the biblical and spiritual. With sensitivity and wisdom, the essays that comprise this wonderful book offer the reader an array of potential modes of thinking and conceiving the profound influence of Christian tradition in Western culture.”– Emma Mason, Reader in English Literature, University of Warwick“If, to adapt Blake, ‘man is as he reads’ then Visions and Revisions is a book that alerts us to the chance that the world is as we read and, indeed, that if we can but re-read the world, above all the world of words, then what the world is may yet, might just, be different. Visions and Revisions – read and re-read.”– John Schad, Professor of Modern Literature, University of Lancaster
