Title: Lew Wallace & American Relig
Course Section Number: REL-280-01
Department: Religion
Description: Crawfordsville's own Lew Wallace wore many hats: attorney, artist, Union general in the Civil War, governor of the New Mexico Territory, and famous author. Wallace's Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880) was by most accounts either the first or second best-selling American novel of the nineteenth century, and it had a long afterlife on stage and in many feature films. In this seminar, we will examine Wallace's life and legacy, along with what Ben Hur and his other works reveal about American religion and culture in his era and beyond. One credit. No prerequisites.
