The Welsh Methodist Society

‘This is an excellent study, meticulously researched and richly documented, to present a comprehensive view of religion in west Wales in the period. Eryn White shows that this was the crucible of the Evangelical movement in the eighteenth century. This is a book that all scholars of Wales and religious history will need to read.’
-Professor William Gibson, Director of the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History

‘In this magisterial study, the author has returned to the subject that first established her reputation as our foremost historian of eighteenth-century Wales, namely the development of the Methodist societies. Drawing on subsequent research and a quarter-century of deep reflection, she has provided us with the definitive analysis which will be essential reading for social historians and historians of religion alike.’
-D. Densil Morgan, Emeritus Professor of Theology, University of Wales Trinity Saint David

‘The transatlantic Evangelical revival of the eighteenth century had no greater impact than through Methodism in south-west Wales, the subject of this book. Eryn White perceptively shows how converted individuals were grafted into novel communities, the Methodist societies, which she analyses with exemplary thoroughness.’
-David Bebbington, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Stirling
