This article looks at the presence of religion in popular literary culture in the form ofpliegos sueltosandaleluyasin the long nineteenth century in Spain. It draws primarily on the collection of 4,700sueltosdigitized by the Wrongdoing Project (2011–2014). Religious material is present in a number of forms, educational and hagiographic, but is combined with a taste for the shocking. Explicitly religious material is, however, smaller in proportion to the perceived whole than had been previously thought, or assumed. Indications are given of the difficulties and variables in assessing the importance of religion in this genre, some of which may be overcome by digital technology in the future.
