This first volume of a two volume edition contains letters written
between 1727 and 1756 by the famous hymn writer, poet, and
co-founder of Methodism, Charles Wesley (1707-1788), Volume 2 will
contain letters written between 1757 and 1788. The edition brings
together texts which are located in libraries and archives from
across the globe and here presents them as a complete collection
for the first time - many of the letters have never been previously
published. The appended notes help the reader locate the letters in
their proper historical and literary context and provide full
information regarding the location of the original source and,
where possible, something of its provenance.
These texts provide an intimate glimpse into the world of early
Methodism and Charles' own struggles and triumphs as a central
figure within it. They collectively document the story of Charles
Wesley's early experiences as he sought to find his own place in
Methodism and, of key importance for Charles, Methodism's place in
the wider purposes of God. Here are letters of a theological kind,
letters that reflect on his experiences as an itinerant preacher,
letters that show something of his rather unsettled personality and
letters that relate to his own personal and domestic circumstances.
Here we see something of the inner workings of a nascent religious
group. These are not sanitised accounts written by those looking
back, but first-hand accounts written from the heart of a lived
experience.
While this book will naturally appeal to those who have a
specialist interest in the early history of Methodism, for others
there is much to be gained from the picture it gives of the wider
eighteenth-century world in which Charles and his co-religionists
worked and lived.
