Zusammenfassung:"In the nineteenth century, a fascination with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made Mormons and Mormonism a common trope in French journalism, literature, politics, and popular culture. Heather Belnap, Corry Cropper, and Daryl Lee illuminate the creation and use of Latter-day Saint stereotypes in France from the 1830s to 1914.
