This essay uses the overlapping cases of Victorian comparative religion and the Victorian Jesus novel to explore the vexed function of comparative types in nineteenth-century writing. Where Victorian comparative religion, with its concept of the generic founder type, had a surprisingly hard time validating the lives of particular individuals, evangelical Jesus novels were able to make use of historical realism in a way that standard portraits of the novel as a secularizing genre seldom anticipate.

本文使用维多利亚时代比较宗教和维多利亚时代耶稣小说的重叠案例来探讨比较类型在19世纪写作中的烦人功能。维多利亚时代的比较宗教，以其一般创始者类型的概念，难以验证特定个体的生活，而福音派耶稣小说能够利用历史现实主义，以标准小说肖像作为世俗化的流派。很少期待。
