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"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 17, 2022) Subject Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- France -- Public opinion -- History -- 19th century SUBJECT Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fast Subject Latter Day Saints -- France -- Public opinion -- History -- 19th century Latter Day Saint churches -- France -- Public opinion -- History -- 19th century Latter Day Saints in literature Religion and culture -- France -- History -- 19th century RELIGION / General Mormon Church -- Public opinion Mormons in literature Public opinion Religion and culture France Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Cropper, Corry, author.
