B. W. Young describes and analyses the intellectual culture of the
eighteenth-century Church of England, in particular relation to
those developments traditionally described as constituting the
Enlightenment. It challenges conventional perceptions of an
intellectually moribund institution by contextualising the
polemical and scholarly debates in which churchmen engaged. In
particular, it delineates the vigorous clerical culture in which
much eighteenth-century thought evolved. The book traces the
creation of a self-consciously enlightened tradition within
Anglicanism, which drew on Erasmianism, seventeenth-century
eirenicism and the legacy of Locke. By emphasizing the variety of
its intellectual life, the book challenges those notions of
Enlightenment which advance predominantly political interpretations
of this period. Thus, eighteenth-century critics of the
Enlightenment, notably those who contributed to a burgeoning
interest in mysticism, are equally integral to this study.
