Sommario/riassunto |
|
This original and persuasive book examines the moral and religious revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a burgeoning civil society in Britain.

seamen, and slaves throughout the British empire-all leading to what has been termed the "age of benevolence." |
