Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a social history of religion in a rural district in Lincolnshire during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It explores the entire range of religious phenomena -- popular superstition and magic as well as the Church of England and Methodism -- and attempts to recover their social meaning and social context. It concludes that both the heightening of religious activity in the early part of the period and its later decline had their origins in social change : the triumph of agricultural capitalism, the breakdown of the traditional village order, and the uneven emergence of a society of classes, each with its distinctive outlook and religious style." -- Front inside flap of dust jacket.
