Title: The call to seriousness
First published: 1976
Description: Examines the nature and the extent of the impact which the Evangelicals made on English life in the first half of the 19th century. Between 1780 and 1850 the English ceased to be one of the world's most aggressive, rowdy, outspoken, cruel and bloodthirsty nations and became one of the most inhibited, polite, orderly, tender-minded, prudish and hypocritical. This book chronicles that transformation.
