Book Description
"This is a social history of religion in a rural district in Lincolnshire during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It explores the entire range of religious phenomena -- popular superstition and magic as well as the Church of England and Methodism -- and attempts to recover their social meaning and social context. It concludes that both the heightening of religious activity in the early part of the period and its later decline had their origins in social change : the triumph of agricultural capitalism, the breakdown of the traditional village order, and the uneven emergence of a society of classes, each with its distinctive outlook and religious style." -- Front inside flap of dust jacket.

Book Description
As one of Victorian Britain’s pre-eminent social reformers, Lord Shaftesbury (1801–85) exerted a lasting impact surpassing all of his parliamentary contemporaries. Despite being born into one of England’s aristocratic families, a combination of early childhood deprivation, an earnest Evangelical faith, and an abiding sense of noblesse oblige made him a champion of the poor. His seminal contribution to the Victorian factory reform movement represented just one of his manifold legacies. This contextual study of the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury probes the mind behind the man to evaluate the religious and philosophical ideas, and their leading figures, that ignited his lifelong activism in the public sphere. This book reveals that far from representing a relic of the Victorian age, the Earl of Shaftesbury, whilst a conservative by predilection, was essentially a forward-looking and farsighted reformer. The principles that Shaftesbury espoused of industrial justice, class harmony, subsidiarity, volunteerism, selfless individualism, religious observance, strong families and private enterprise tempered by moderate state intervention are essentially those prized by liberal democracies today as the foundation for social cohesion, prosperity, and human flourishing.
