| Abstract
|
:
|
"Mr Brown has written an assessment of the Evangelical revival in the Church of England at the beginning of the nineteenth century. He makes a number of important points about the Evangelicals: who they were, what they tried to do, how they tried to do it, and what success they had. He establishes how much they made the later Victorian age what it was and also suggests how the movement came to lose its hold on the foremost minds of the age in the third generation.

This is a introduction to the change of mind between two ages, and it is as interesting to the student of literature and the general reader as to the historian. How does one account for the change in mental atmosphere between the time of Cowper and that of Newman? How does one move from low Anglican Calvinism to Puseyism? How explain the extraordinary burst of philanthropic and missionary activity in the early nineteenth century? What real part was played by Wilberforce and the Clapham sect? How is it that the time of Jane Austen is noticeably more refined than that of Fielding, and the age of George Eliot even more so? All these questions are answered in Mr Brown's book; a dazzling performance, and an enlightening one."--Jacket.
