In this book S. J. D. Green offers an important account of the
causes, courses and consequences of the secularisation of English
society. He argues that the critical cultural transformation of
modern English society was forged in the agonised abandonment of a
long-domesticated Protestant, Christian tradition between 1920 and
1960. Its effects were felt across the nation and among all
classes. Yet their significance in the evolution of contemporary
indigenous identities remains curiously neglected in most
mainstream accounts of post-Victorian Britain. Dr Green traces the
decline of English ecclesiastical institutions after 1918. He also
investigates the eclipse of once-common moral sensibilities during
the years up to 1945. Finally, he examines why subsequent efforts
to reverse these trends so comprehensively failed. His work will be
of enduring interest to modern historians, sociologists of
religion, and all those concerned with the future of faith in
Britain and beyond.
