Title

Fashionable Philosophies and Other Sketches, "Chapter 1: Fashionable Philosophies"

Description

The first thing that I intend to do is to discuss briefly the importance of Laurence Oliphant in relation to Victorian Literature. He is the cousin of Margaret Oliphant, the writer of "The Library Window".

In this first piece section which I selected for this item the characters discuss religion in a way that perhaps is not the natural discourse surrounding it. With the occasional sprinkle of questioning Christianity in this story the characters are going out of their way to describe what would seem obvious or natural in a very scientific way, going so far as to break down what could be considered a proper religion fitting for the time.
