| Summary: | Religious Identities in Britain is a collection of excellent essays, fourteen in all, about the history of religion in Britain between the Civil War and the Victorian period. In their introductory essay the editors, William Gibson (Oxford Brookes) and Robert G. Ingram (Ohio), argue that eighteenth-century British society was dominated by religion and not by ‘the Enlightenment’; they also say that ‘we will only fully appreciate the place of religion in eighteenth-century British life when we appreciate how religion shaped or reflected the identities and attitudes of individual Britons’. They contend that Hanoverian Britain was ‘a decidedly premodern ancien regime confessional state’, and that society remained largely unchanged from the expulsion of the Stuarts to the 1830s. |
