Notes

¹ For two useful introductions to the “postsecular turn,” see Conway and Harol (2015) and Coviello and Hickman’s “Introduction” to the special issue of American Literature, “After the Postsecular” (2014).

² Mary Poovey and Ian Baucom’s linked essays in Warner and Siskin are a good introduction to the new economic criticism, as are their respective individual works, Genres of the Credit Economy and Specters of the Atlantic. Other important critical sources that have helped to shape my thinking are Baker, Burnham (Folded), and Lynch.
