Abstract

Anne Bronte's struggles with her faith, as presented in her religious poetry of the 1840s, is here framed in terms of the long tradition of Christian existentialism. Reasoning from her inner state of feeling, Bronte revises her understanding of faith as ongoing ethical commitment in a world in which meaning is apparently absent.
