Letters of a Weardale Soldier, Lieutenant John Brumwell
Author: Lieutenant John Brumwell
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1908902329
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
There is something particularly affecting when reading the posthumously published letters of a soldier who has fallen in battle. The hope of a future rings out clear from John Brumwell’s letters back to his family in the north of England whilst he toils in the Duke of Wellington’s army in Spain and Portugal, only to be cut short in 1812, two years short of peace. Local historian William Eggleston unearthed these letters still held in the same locality that Lieutenant Brumwell’s family lived and wove them into a short book which contains much of the fallen officers’ family background and connecting narrative explaining the war during which the letters were written. A short but worthwhile read.

Victorian Religious Revivals
Author: David Bebbington
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191611794
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Revivals are outbursts of religious enthusiasm in which there are numerous conversions. In this book the phenomenon of revival is set in its broad historical and historiographical context. David Bebbington provides detailed case-studies of awakenings that took place between 1841 and 1880 in Britain, North America and Australia, showing that the distinctive features of particular revivals were the result less of national differences than of denominational variations. These revivals occurred in many places across the globe, but revealed the shared characteristics of evangelical Protestantism. Bebbington explores the preconditions of revival, giving attention to the cultural setting of each episode as well as the form of piety displayed by the participants. No single cause can be assigned to the awakenings, but one of the chief factors behind them was occupational structure and striking instances of death were often a precipitant. Ideas were far more involved in these events than historians have normally supposed, so that the case-studies demonstrate some of the main patterns in religious thought at a popular level during the Victorian period. Laymen and women played a disproportionate part in their promotion and converts were usually drawn in large numbers from the young. There was a trend over time away from traditional spontaneity towards more organised methods sometimes entailing interdenominational co-operation.
