| Summary: | In many ways one of the most remarkable groups to emerge from the splintering and reconstruction of the Methodist movement in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the Independent Methodists have hitherto lacked a scholarly history. This want has now been substantially supplied by John Dolan. After an introduction which provides a brief summary of Methodist discontents in the 1790s, Dolan turns to the origins and the early development of the Independent Methodists in the milieu of Methodist lay revivalism. This was a phenomenon always somewhat loosely anchored in the mainstream of the movement with a perennial tendency to form local groups which either floated free of their own accord or were cut loose by exasperated Wesleyan consolidators. |
