This generational conflict between faith and doubt had its heyday after the philosophers of the Enlightenment attacked dogma and superstition and Darwin exploded any literal reading of the Bible. Its literary vestiges can be found in celebrated memoirs like the critic Edmund Gosse's Father and Son (1907), which describes the author's harsh, sectarian upbringing and eventual breach with his fanatical father. There are powerful versions of this Oedipal struggle in novels like Anzia Yezierska's brief against patriarchy, Bread Givers (1925), and James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), based on his adolescent religious conversion. Long before this, in 1896, a New York Times correspondent in London, Harold Frederic, wrote a widely admired novel about a troubled minister who loses his way, The Damnation of Theron Ware.
