The Life of Wesley was one of Southey's most influential and
bestselling works. It was the first biography of John Wesley - the
major figure in the largest religious movement of the eighteenth
century - to be published by anyone beyond the Methodist community.
In addition, it was a major history of the rise of a phenomenon
that Southey and many others saw as a defining sign of contemporary
history - the rise of sectarianism and of religious cults. This
two-volume edition will represent the full text of the 1820
edition. It will include a comprehensive critical apparatus that
will make sense of the major issues posed by the text and how it
contributes to studies of both Southey and Romanticism. The edition
will feature a critical and contextual introduction, which will set
out the origins and composition of the text together with its
publication history, as well as offer a carefully considered view
of the interplay between the Life and other biographies of Wesley
and accounts of Methodism, bringing into view the wide array of
sources and influences Southey drew from. It will also examine the
book's reception history, incorporating material from reviews of
the period and detailing the controversy it caused in the Methodist
community.
