商品簡介
Historians and scholars of literature in Britain, the US, and New Zealand examine the twin birth of the British iron industry and The Evangelical Revival in the town of Coalbrookdale, in the Church of England parish of Madely, and the crucial role that the town's women played in that nativity. Much of the discussion centers on evangelical clergyman John Fletcher (1729-85), who was appointed vicar there in 1790, and on his wife Mary (1739-1815) and her protege Mary Tooth (1777-1843). The 17 essays were presented at a June 2009 conference at the University of Wolverhampton-Telford. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
