Eighteenth Century Britain

By 1714 Britain was still reeling from the major religious upheavals of the previous two centuries. In this essential new study Nigel Yates introduces us to this uncertain time where religion remained at the very heart of British life while new and radical ideas were beginning to appear below the surface. Based on original research by the author and the most up-to-date literature this is an essential guide to Britain in 1714 to 1815, a period in which the first truly religiously diverse society in Europe developed.
