Mr Brown has written an assessment of the Evangelical revival in
the Church of England at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
He makes a number of important points about the Evangelicals: who
they were, what they tried to do, how they tried to do it, and what
success they had. He establishes how much they made the later
Victorian age what it was and also suggest how the movement came to
lose its hold on the foremost minds if the age in the third
generation. This is a most extraordinary and brilliant introduction
to the change of mind between two ages, and it is as interesting to
the student of literature and the general reader as to the
historian. What real part was played by Wilberforce and the Clapham
sect? How is it that the time of Jane Austen is noticeably more
refined than that of Fielding, and the age of George Eliot even
more so? All these questions are answered in Mr Brown's book; a
dazzling performance, and an enlightening one.
