Missionary Cosmopolitanism in NineteenthCentury British Literature explores the notion that missionaries, often perceived as only evangelically motivated in the British imperial project, were also spurred on by cosmopolitan ideals. Winter Jade Werner makes this surprising connection in order to write against standard understandings of missionary work as well as typical understandings of cosmopolitanism as a deeply secular project.Missionary Cosmopolitanism identifies the nineteenthcentury novel as thematically and formally attuned to the tension between missionaries cosmopolitan values and the moral impoverishment of their imperialist and expansionist practices. Werners chapters interact with canonical works such as Charlotte Bronts Jane Eyre and Charles Dickenss Bleak House, along with lesserknown works by Robert Southey and Sydney Owenson. Ultimately, Missionary Cosmopolitanism demonstrates that nineteenthcentury literature both illustrated and helped define missionary discourses regarding cosmopolitan ideas, showing how global evangelicalism continues to tap into the new cosmopolitanisms of today.
