Tittel
'Anglicanism, Enthusiasm and Quixotism: Preaching and Politeness in Mid-Eighteenth Century Literature'
Sammendrag
One consequence of the rise of Methodism in eighteenth-century Britain was the stimulation of rigorous debate over the propriety and effectiveness of conflicting preaching techniques. Was Anglican delivery too reserved to be effective? Did 'enthusiasm' inspire eloquent oratory or dangerous mania? This article explores literary interventions into this debate: Theophilus Evans' History of Modern Enthusiasm (1752), Richard Graves' The Spiritual Quixote (1773), and essays by Oliver Goldsmith (1759/60). Taking different positions within the debate, these texts illustrate how the preacher's body functioned within eighteenth-century culture as an important site of representation - one on which competing notions of 'politeness' could be mapped.
