Victorian Christianity at the Fin de Siècle
Over the past twenty years, historians have tended to follow Callum Brown in locating the ‘death of Christian Britain’ in the 1960s. To advance that argument, Brown emphasised the grip of a post-Victorian ‘discursive Christianity’ anchored in gendered moral codes, and underpinned by the restless energy of spiritual entrepreneurs. While this story has been criticised by Jeremy Morris, Clive Field and others for mashing denominations together into …

The Making of a Tory Evangelical
‘So great a cloud of witnesses’
This article explores one of the predominant themes in nineteenth-century stained glass: the urge to assemble collections of individual figures into genealogies of spiritual or institutional descent. Beginning with the importance of saints in ecclesiastical stained glass, it argues that this tradition both diversified in the Victorian religious marketplace but also spilled over into non-religious contexts — civic buildings, libraries, and the lik…
Reframing Stained Glass in Nineteenth-Century Britain
The introduction to this issue of 19 takes the form of a roundtable discussion between the guest editors Dr Jasmine Allen (The Stained Glass Museum), Dr Gareth Atkins (Queens’ College, Cambridge), and Dr Kate Nichols (Birmingham). Each contributor reflects on the research potential of stained glass in their respective fields and the reasons for its neglect; together, they will also consider the fresh issues and questions raised by the cross-disci…
Isaiah's Call to England
Prophetic thought in nineteenth-century Britain has often been presented as divided between those mostly evangelical constituencies who ‘believed' in its literal fulfilment in the past, present or future and those who ‘doubted' such interpretations. This essay seeks to question that division by tracking the uses of one set of prophetic passages, those concerning the ‘Ships of Tarshish’ mentioned in Isaiah 60: 9 and elsewhere. It examines their ap…
William Jowett’s Christian Researches
[Acre,] Sunday, Nov. 2, 1823 —This morning, in the Consul’s room, we held Divine Service, with a congregation of ten souls — as promiscuous an assembly as could well be expected within the compass of so small a number. The individuals who composed it were, a British Consul — his Dragoman, a native of the country — a Maronite Priest — a Roman Physician — one Greek — one Jew — an English captain of a merchant vessel then in port — my servant, who i…

Christian Heroes, Providence, and Patriotism in Wartime Britain, 1793–1815
The use by British crowds of victorious admirals to articulate patriotic and libertarian ideas during the wars of the long eighteenth century is well known. But conflict also posed awkward questions about masculinity and issues surrounding it. Was military prowess compatible with politeness, with religiosity? During the 1790s, the fight to the death with revolutionary France made such questions hard to ignore, being compounded by the fact that Br…
Form and Faith in Victorian Poetry and Religion, by Kirstie Blair
Kirsty Blair’s new book starts with a straightforward premiss: ‘when Victorian poetry speaks of faith, it tends to do so in steady and regular rhythms; when it speaks of doubt, it is correspondingly more likely to deploy irregular, unsteady, unbalanced rhythms’ (p. 1). Victorian poets and critics, she argues, were themselves well aware of this. For believers, language, verse form, rhythm and genre were to be regular because the universe itself wa…
Idle Reading’? Policing the Boundaries of the Nineteenth-Century Household
In April 1805 the Christian Observer reviewed George Burder’s Lawful Amusements , a sermon preached earlier that year in London and recently published. Burder was a leading Independent minister, ‘a serious man, employed about serious things’, his son later recalled, and the Christian Observer might have been expected to approve. Yet it was clear that the reviewer thought he had gone too far. The sermon, he complained, ‘might more properly be enti…
Anglican Evangelical Theology, c. 1820–1850
The period between the 1780s and the 1830s is widely acknowledged to be a formative one for Anglican Evangelical identity. It was the age of S imeon, W ilberforce, and the C lapham S ect, a time when polite culture became imbued with moral seriousness, and when pious causes came to the centre of the political stage. Yet while it is equally well known that the late 1820s witnessed a significant change in mood and direction, prompted by the passing…

True churchmen’? Anglican Evangelicals and history, c .1770–1850
In the first half of the nineteenth century the relationship between the Church of England and the state shifted dramatically. This influenced, and was in turn influenced by, heated debates about Anglican history in general and about the Reformation in particular. Some of the bitterest debates revolved around differing understandings of the Church’s foundational literature – the Articles, Homilies and Prayer Book – and what they stood for. These …

Suggestions for an Amended Spelling and Word Division of Nyanja
Most of the problems of Nyanja orthography are simple and capable of a straightforward solution. What is needed is a revision and clarification of the existing rules and usages rather than any basic reform. The need for such revision has long been felt in Nyasaland as well as in Northern Rhodesia
