William Wordsworth, Second-Generation Romantic: Contesting Poetry after Waterloo
The Dialectics of Empire, Race, and Diocese
The history of global Anglicanism is dominated by two master narratives. In the narrative of post-colonial studies, Anglican expansion is one aspect of the expansion of the British Empire. Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) reconfigured imperialism as cultural domination of the non-Western world, and the imposition of Western styles of religion. The contrasting narrative of mission studies focuses on the victory of the ‘indigenous’ over the ‘foreig…

Avril A. Powell. Scottish Orientalists and India: The Muir Brothers, Religion, Education and Empire

Master Narratives of Imperial Missions
The two most important stories about Western religion during the last 300 years are the progressive de-Christianization of Europe and the expansion of Western religion beyond the boundaries of Europe. In Europe the decline of Christian institutions, and the abandonment of religious faith, reached new and unprecedented levels in late twentieth century, requiring a reevaluation of the timing of the decline of religion in Europe. In The Death of Chr…

The Ideal of the Self-Governing Church: A Study in Victorian Missionary Strategy.
It is part of current missiological orthodoxy that newly created churches should obtain independence from cross-cultural missionaries as soon as possible.

The study begins with an examination of …
