Nineteenth-Century English Religious Traditions: Retrospect and ProspectDenis G. Paz Scholars from England, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States survey Victorian religious history. This collection is organized around religious traditions or denominations in the 19th century in England with more emphasis on their social, economic, and political lives than on their theological and liturgical activities. Each essay discusses the current state of research in its specific tradition, the larger questions of debate among historians, the directions that research seems to be taking, and the topics that should be studied in the future. In addition, the contributors discuss archival and printed sources. |
