| Summary: | What is most immediately striking about religious life and culture in the 19th century is just how literary it was, whether in the airing of denominational difference, the dissemination of theological ideas, practices of communal piety, or the expression of personal devotion., The period saw the foundation of nine religious newspapers between 1828 (The Record) and 1860 (The Universe) and the circulation of the 90 (in)famous ‘Tracts for the Times’ by the Oxford Movement. Tens of thousands of sermons were published, either as single sermon pamphlets or in collected volume form, making sermons one of the most popular literary genres of the period. The Book of Common Prayer was part of the national consciousness and popular vocabulary with many of its phrases and prayers known by heart. |
