The Viper on the Hearth: Mormons, Myths, and the Construction of Heresy - Religion in America
Givens, Terryl L. (Professor of Literature and Religion, Bostwick Professor of English, Professor of Literature and Religion, Bostwick Professor of English, University of Richmond)
Nineteenth-century American writers frequently cast the Mormon as a stock villain in various genres of popular fiction. The Mormons were depicted as a violent and perverse people. Applying the methods of literary criticism, Givens shows how the image of the Mormon as a religious and social `Other' was constructed.
