How do conservatives and the Christian right view beloved classics by authors such as Jane Austen and Mary Shelley? Challenging what they disparage as politicized mainstream academia and “decadent” literary criticism, right-wing scholars and commentators in the United States are developing an entirely separate literary ecosystem ranging from publishers to book series to podcasts. This chapter explores how the Ignatius Critical Editions, founded by a scholar whose dissertation was directed by Joseph Ratizinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, are used as a platform to promote reactionary legal and political ideas to schoolchildren and college students. With an interpretive framework akin to selective originalism, the critical introductions to and essays in recent editions of Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Frankenstein cast subjective views of reproductive politics, gender and class norms, and more as eternal truths. The chapter also examines the “Great Books” podcast developed by National Review magazine and scholars from Hillsdale College, showing how the episodes seek to cultivate a nostalgic view of the past through commentary on Austen’s and Shelley’s works.
