Stephen Cheeke explores the ways in which John Ruskin, Robert Browning, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Walter Pater engaged with the Christian content of their subject. He examines two related phenomena--idolatry and the poetics of transfiguration--and focuses on the 'translation' of religion into art and aesthetics.
