Synopsis
<p>First published in 1880, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ became a best-seller. The<br>popular novel spawned an 1899 stage adaptation, reaching audiences of over<br>10 million, and two highly successful film adaptations.

The first and only collection of essays on this pivotal cultural icon,<br>Bigger Than "Ben-Hur" addresses Lew Wallace’s beloved classic to explore its<br>polarizing effect and to expand the contexts within which it can be studied.<br> In the essays gathered here, scholars approach Ben-Hur from multiple directions—<br>religious and secular, literary, theatrical, and cinematic—to understand<br>not just one story in varied formats but also what they term the "Ben-Hur tradition."<br>Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, contributions include the rise<br>of the Protestant novel in the United States; relationships between and among<br>religion, spectacle, and consumerism; the "New Woman" in early Hollywood;<br>and a "wish list" for future adaptations, among others. Together, these essays<br>explore how this remarkably fluid story of faith, love, and revenge has remained<br>relevant to audiences across the globe for over 130 years.</p>
