Summary:

"The British Romantic period is often characterized as a time of declining interest in religion but religious life permeates the literature through influences from many different religious groups. This essay traces the history of recent scholarship, particularly the waning of the secularization thesis and rise of more than two decades of active study of British Romanticism and religion"-- Provided by publisher.
