This book brings together recent work on the Church of England in the 'long eighteenth century', demonstrating the importance of religion for a full understanding of English life in this period.

There has been a resurgence of interest in the history of the Church of England in 'the long eighteenth century' and this volume brings together the fruits of this research, demonstrating that an understanding of religion and the Church is central to any study of eighteenth-century life and thought.After decades of neglect there has been a resurgence of interest in the history of the Church of England in 'the long eighteenth century'. This volume of essays brings together the fruits of some of this research. Most of the essays have been written, not by traditional ecclesiastical historians, but by political, social and cultural historians, a fact which reflects the diversity of approaches to the study of the Church of England in the eighteenth century. As a whole, the volume demonstrates that religion and the Church can no longer be regarded as a discrete subject in the history of eighteenth-century England, but are central to a full understanding of its life and thought.
