Description

Explores the multifaceted perception of Methodism in 18th-century British society. It examines how Methodism, though rooted in a "method" of disciplined devotional life, was also seen as a religion of feeling and intense emotional experience, often challenging prevailing rationalist views. The text investigates the cultural and literary responses to Methodism, including its portrayal in satires and novels, and how these reflected societal anxieties about gender, sexuality, social class, and the nature of belief in a rapidly secularizing age. Furthermore, it discusses Methodism's impact on public performance, music, and literary style, particularly through its charismatic preachers and congregational hymn singing, highlighting the movement's contested position within the Church of England and its broader influence on British culture.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Imagining-Methodism-Eighteenth-Century-Britain-Enthusiasm/dp/142140480X?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=c5ada9dfacf058f1b1186b868b425c7d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
