  • Anti-Methodism and Theological Controversy in Eighteenth-Century England

    G M DitchfieldARTICLEWesley and Methodist Studies2024

    On 27 October 1754 the Presbyterian minister Samuel Davies, while visiting London to raise subscriptions for the College of New Jersey, later known as Princeton, met John and Charles Wesley and recorded his opinion that ‘the despised Methodists, with all their Foibles, seem to me to have more of the Spirit of Religion than any Set of People in this Island’. Davies, who became president of the College in 1759, did not enlarge upon these ‘Foibles’,…

  • The Evangelical Quadrilateral, I

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2022

    A measure of the distinction achieved by David Bebbington in the field of modern British religious history is the article by Grayson Carter entitled ‘Evangelicalism’ in the fourth edition of the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, published in February 2022. It begins with Bebbington’s definition of the four essential characteristics of Evangelicalism, internationally as well as in national contexts, as set out in his deservedly influentia…

  • Mary Hardy and her World, 1773–1809

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2021

    In 2013 Margaret Bird published her four-volume edition of The Diary of Mary Hardy, 1773–1809, together with a further diary kept by Mary Hardy’s nephew Henry Raven; the volumes were reviewed ante, cxxx (2015), pp. 219–21. Now she has supplemented this handsome edition with four thematically arranged companion volumes. Their terms of reference are very wide and demonstrate that the world of Mary Hardy (1733–1809) and her husband William (1732–181…

  • George III

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2021

    One of the most important developments for students of eighteenth-century Britain, Europe and the United States is the Georgian Papers Programme whereby the papers of George III in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle are made accessible online. Their availability will not only enhance our understanding of the king’s domestic role but will also illuminate his extensive connections with the Hanoverian members of his family and with contemporary Eu…

  • The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions. Vol. III

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2019

    ‘The nineteenth century’, as Eugenio Biagini observes at the beginning of his contribution to this volume, ‘was indeed a good one for the Dissenters of the British Isles from the point of view of their political significance and impact on society as a whole’ (p. 407). One might go further and conclude that it was, by a considerable margin, their best century. The numbers of Dissenting worshippers recorded by the (admittedly problematical) religio…

  • John Wesley, Heterodoxy, and Dissent

    G M DitchfieldARTICLEWesley and Methodist Studies2018

    While John Wesley's opposition to Calvinism is well known, he also devoted much of his later life to counteracting what he regarded as serious threats to Christian orthodoxy, namely the denial of original sin and the rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity. As a result he became involved in controversy with several leading Protestant Dissenters, including John Taylor of Norwich and Joseph Priestley. This article examines the relationship, someti…

  • Perfecting Perfection

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    Henry Rack is rightly regarded as the leading authority on the career and theology of John Wesley. His Reasonable Enthusiast: John Wesley and the Rise of Methodism, first published in 1989, reached a third edition in 2002 and remains the best biography of its subject. A further mark of his distinction is the dedication of a collection of essays published in his honour by the Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester in 2003. T…

  • Catholicism, Identity and Politics in the Age of Enlightenment

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    Interest in the English Catholic Enlightenment continues to grow. Scholars such as R.W. Linker and, more recently, Joseph Chinnici and Leo Gooch have identified the contribution of the Catholic propertied elite to those strands of liberal thought which emphasised a wider freedom of debate, a moderate measure of political reform and a ‘latitudinarian’ approach to religious belief and practice. At the same time, and especially after the defeat of J…

  • The Origins of Primitive Methodism, by Sandy Calder

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    Primitive Methodism was a major force in English society during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, from its origins in the Napoleonic period to its merger with the Wesleyan and United Methodist churches in 1932. The only specifically religious census conducted in Britain recorded 229,646 Primitive Methodist attenders at evening service on 30 March 1851—making it by far the largest grouping among the notoriously fissiparous Methodist mo…

  • Memoirs of the Court of George III. Vol. I

    Open AccessG M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    Since the 1990s there has been a substantial revival of academic interest in the dynastic politics, cultural patronage and ecclesiastical influence of European monarchy. It is a development reflected in the foundation of the Society for Court Studies in 1995 and the launch in the following year of The Court Historian, which published its twentieth volume in 2015. In the British context, scholars such as Robert Bucholz, Frances Harris and Hannah S…

  • Edmund Burke. Volume II

    G M DitchfieldARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009

    With this fine volume, Professor Lock brings to a conclusion his distinguished biography of one of the most important political thinkers of eighteenth-century Europe. The achievement is all the more impressive in view of the relatively short space of time since the publication of Volume I in 1998 (rev. ante, cxv [2000], 911-13). Perhaps unavoidably, there is in the first chapter some recapitulation of material in Volume I, as the context to Burke…
