Nineteenth-Century British Secularism offers a new paradigm for
understanding secularization in the nineteenth century. It
addresses the crisis in the secularization thesis by foregrounding
a nineteenth-century development called 'Secularism' - the
particular movement and creed founded by George Jacob Holyoake from
1851 to 1852. Nineteenth-Century British Secularism rethinks and
reevaluates the significance of Holyoake's Secularism, regarding it
as a historic moment of modernity and granting it centrality as
both a herald and exemplar for a new understanding of modern
secularity. In addition to Secularism proper, the book treats
several other moments of secular emergence in the nineteenth
century, including Thomas Carlyle's 'natural supernaturalism',
Richard Carlile's anti-theist science advocacy, Charles Lyell's
uniformity principle in geology, Francis Newman's naturalized
religion or 'primitive Christianity', and George Eliot's secularism
and post-secularism.
