9780195101836 / The Viper on the Hearth: Mormons, Myths, and the Construction of Heresy (Religion in America) Hardcover – January 30, 1997
by Oxford University Press; 1st edition (January 30, 1997) (Author) Nineteenth-century American writers frequently cast the Mormon as a stock villain in such fictional genres as mysteries, westerns, and popular romances. The Mormons were depicted as a violent and perverse people–the “viper on the hearth”–who sought to violate the domestic sphere of the mainstream. While other critics have mined the socio-political sources of anti-Mormonism, Givens is the first to reveal how popular fiction, in its attempt to deal with the sources and nature of this conflict, constructed an image of the Mormon as a religious and social “Other.”
