Dissenting, Methodist, and Evangelical Literary Culture in England 1720-1800
KORTE INHOUD
This enviable feat of scholarship weaves a deep appreciation of the intangible facets of spirituality and ethical philosophy into an understanding of the realities of a rich bookish culture. Protestant Dissenters are absolved from association with the somewhat dated evaluative category of 'counter-Enlightenment' and placed at the heart of the intellectual, cultural, and commercial life of eighteenth-century England.

Rivers's book will transform how literary scholars, religious historians, and book historians approach eighteenth-century culture. It invites comparison in terms of methods and materials with N. H. Keeble's The Literary Culture of Nonconformity in Later Seventeenth-Century England (1987), a study with a greater sense of the purely literary quality of the writings produced by Dissenters in the wake of the Great Ejection.
