Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study commemorates the two hundredth anniversary of John Fletcher's institution to the living of Madeley in Shropshire, the English parish he turned into the Mecca of Methodism during an incumbency of twenty-five years. Close examination of Fletcher's voluminous writings reveals him as a far greater and more fascinating man, priest, writer, theologian, and saint than even his admirers have asserted. While little that is new is to be expected in the biographical field--his story having been told many times--in other respects this Anglican-Methodist has never been appreciated as he deserves to be, and is today almost forgotten. Although he is considered an Evangelical, his ministry is an inspiration to pastors and preachers of all schools. His thinking is shown to be wide, deep, fresh, and yet remarkably balanced. In his use of English, he appears as a master. His writing challenges the standard of much of today's religious preaching and literature and proves to be an unexplored mine of great wealth for both the student of literature and the professional lexicographer.

Download or read book Shropshire written by J. A. B. Somerset and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Records of Early English Drama volumes make available historical transcripts that provide evidence of early English drama, music, ceremonial, dance, and other forms of communal public entertainment in Britain before 1642, together with the necessary interpretive introductions and notes to explicate the materials for the reader. Shropshire, in two volumes, is the eleventh publication in the series. In the introduction Alan Somerset surveys the social and economic history of each major borough and provides a commentary on the major issues raised in the documents. He discusses travelling performers routes, the places they performed, and the remarkable public exhibitions of high-wire artists, camels, bears, and giants. The records for this county are rich and varied, providing new detail about local playing and festivities. From Shrewsbury for example, comes the complete documentation of a unique, semi-circular outdoor amphitheatre. The documents reveal much - from robbery and riots - to the sometimes acrimonious disputes that show the growing Puritan opposition to sports, which attempted to combat an equally stubborn affection for traditional customs. These records are an invaluable addition to the scholarship of early drama, establishing as they do part of the total context of the great drama of Shakespeare, his predecessors, and his contemporaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the emerging centers of industrial activity interact with the places in which they sprung up? this can be seen in microcosm in one small area of the English midlands: the parish of Madeley, Shropshire, in which was the "birthplace of the industrial revolution," Coalbrookdale. Here, the evangelical Methodist clergyman John Fletcher ministered between 1760 and 1785, among a population including Catholics and Quakers as well people indifferent to religion. Then, for nearly sixty years after his death, two women, Fletcher's widow and later her protâegâe, had virtual charge of the parish, which became one of the last examples of Methodism remaining within the Church of England. Through examining this specific locality, these essays engage particularlywith areas of broader significance, including: Methodism's roots and growth in relation to the Church of England, religion and gender in eighteenth-century Britain, and religion and emerging industrial society. The last decade has seen substantial growthin studies of John and Mary Fletcher, early Methodism, and its relationship to the Church of England. In addition to furthering knowledge of Madeley parish and its relation to larger themes in eighteenth-century Britain, the impact of the Fletchers in nineteenth-century American Methodism is examined.
