This second volume of a two volume edition contains letters written
between 1757 and 1788, along with some undated letters, by the
famous hymn writer, poet, and co-founder of Methodism, Charles
Wesley (1707-1788). The edition brings together texts which are
located in libraries and archives from across the globe and here
presents them in transcribed form 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's own struggles and triumphs
as a central figure within it. They collectively document the story
of Charles Wesley's experiences later in his life as a leader of
the Methodist movement 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.
