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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMissionary Cosmopolitanism \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies the nineteenth-century novel as thematically and formally attuned to the tension between missionaries' cosmopolitan values and the moral impoverishment of their imperialist and expansionist practices. Werner's chapters interact with canonical works such as Charlotte Brontë's \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e and Charles Dickens's \u003ci\u003eBleak House, \u003c\/i\u003e along with lesser-known works by Robert Southey and Sydney Owenson. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eMissionary Cosmopolitanism\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that nineteenth-century literature both illustrated and helped define missionary discourses regarding cosmopolitan ideas, showing how global evangelicalism continues to tap into the \"new cosmopolitanisms\" of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter Jade Werner is Assistant Professor at Wheaton College.
