The Shamrock and the Cross: Irish American Novelists Shape American Catholicism
Eileen P. Sullivan
Traces changes in nineteenth-century American Catholic culture through a study of Catholic popular literature. Analysing more than thirty novels spanning the period from the 1830s to the 1870s, Sullivan elucidates the ways in which Irish immigration, which transformed the American Catholic population and its institutions, also changed what it meant to be a Catholic in America.
