| Summary |
"This book is the first serious study of Irish Evangelicalism. The authors examine the social history of popular Protestantism in Ulster from the Evangelical Revival in the mid-eighteenth century to the conflicts generated by proposals for Irish Home Rule at the end of the nineteenth century." "Evangelical Protestantism in Ulster Society 1740-1890 will be useful reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying nineteenth-century social history, political history, the history of ideas and religious history. It will also be of interest to Church historians and specialists in the field." "Many of the central themes of the book are to the forefront of recent work on popular religion: women in popular religious movements, religion and national identity, religious revivalism, and the impact of social change on religious experience." "The authors draw on a wide range of primary sources from the early eighteenth to the late nineteenth century. They also display an impressive mastery of the wider literature on popular religion in the period." "By concentrating on the controversial province of Ulster, the book makes a fresh contribution to the history of Britain and Ireland in the modern period."--Jacket |
