“…Jeffrey Chamberlain has gone so far as to suggest that whatever their political colours, 'the majority of parochial clergymen in early Georgian England' maintained High Church views in relation to 'piety and churchmanship … They were traditionalists trying to keep their religious foundations secure amidst the shifting sands of government and society.' 67 Beyond the clergy, by the 1720s the experience of the previous seventy years and more had ensured that fear of the effects of religious difference was well embedded. While violent persecution of Dissent was no longer on the agenda, prejudice against Dissenters had considerable cultural cachet.…”

Friends, Neighbours, Sinners demonstrates the fundamental ways in which religious difference shaped English society in the first half of the eighteenth century. By examining the social subtleties of interactions between people of differing beliefs, and how they were mediated through languages and behaviours common to the long eighteenth century, Carys Brown examines the graduated layers of religious exclusivity that influenced everyday existence. By doing so, the book points towards a new approach to the social and cultural history of the eighteenth century, one that acknowledges the integral role of the dynamics of religious difference in key aspects of eighteenth-century life. This book therefore proposes not just to add to current understanding of religious coexistence in this period, but to shift our ways of thinking about the construction of social discourses, parish politics, and cultural spaces in eighteenth-century England.
