The viper on the hearth : Mormons, myths, and the construction of heresy

Author:Terryl Givens

Summary: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.
