Jensen, Heather Belnap,
Marianne meets the Mormons : representations of Mormonism in nineteenth-century France / Representations of Mormonism in 19th century France Heather Belnap, Corry Cropper, and Daryl Lee. - 1 online resource (xii, 304 pages) : illustrations (some color)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Ils ont lâché le fou!" : unleashing the Mormon jester -- "La loi nouvelle" : Mormonism and the social question in France -- Mormonism, masculinity, and the woman question in Second Empire France -- Between man and God : Mormons, spiritualism, and the occult -- From page to stage : Mormonism and the woman question in the early Third Republic -- "Ces mœurs sont bien les nôtres!" : Mormons, marriage, and the divorce debate -- Exotic Mormons and the French colonial project -- "La fin du mormonisme".
"In the nineteenth century, a fascination with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made Mormons and Mormonism a common trope in French journalism, literature, politics, and popular culture. Heather Belnap, Corry Cropper, and Daryl Lee illuminate the creation and use of Latter-day Saint stereotypes in France from the 1830s to 1914. Though sometimes ridiculed, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints just as often played an important role in satire and criticism that exposed, critiqued, and parodied French society. France's extreme, imagined Mormonism became a malleable tool in debates over issues as diverse as family, Spiritualism, and church-state relations while providing artists and others with a medium for working through the possibilities and impossibilities of their own fragmented nation. Surprising and innovative, Marianne Meets the Mormons looks at how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints influenced generations of French public and intellectual life"--
