Accidental Gods. On Men Unwittingly Turned Divine
Book Presentation with Anna Della Subin
Throughout history, men, often inadvertently, proved remarkably susceptible to deification by others. So common was this occurrence that it has rarely received sustained attention as a phenomenon sui generis. In her sweeping essay, Anna Della Subin breaks new ground by investigating the making of such Accidental Gods.

From the early modern period to the late Prince Philipp’s sojourns in the South Pacific, Della Subin tracks the emergence of unlikely deities.

SPEAKER
Anna Della Subin, writer, critic, and independent scholar born in New York. Her essays have appeared in the New York Review of Books, Harper’s, the New York Times, and the London Review of Books. A senior editor at Bidoun, she studied the history of religion at Harvard Divinity School.
