[edit] About the term "Anti-Mormon"

It should be noted that there is a significant amount of dispute concerning the term "anti-Mormon." For purposes of this list, the term applies to any work which challenges or criticizes any aspect of Mormonism. The publishers of many of the modern works cited herein will frequently object to being labeled "anti-Mormon," stating that the term is so broadly used as to lack any consistency, and is frequently equated "Mormon-haters" or with other spiteful connotations. While there are groups and individuals who arguably fall in this category, most publishers of materials frequently labeled as "anti-Mormon" will state that they do not bear the LDS people themselves any ill will.

  1. ^ The first book of the famous Sherlock Holmes series presents Mormons in a quite unfavorable light. Specifically, Mormons in their early years of settlement in Utah are presented as a violent people, terrorizing their neighbors, and it is asserted that non-Mormon women were kidnapped and coerced into polygamous marriages. However, it might be that this writer did not specifically intend to write an anti-Mormon book, but utilized existing material in order to create what he thought of as an exotic and unexpected background for his murder mystery.
