Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the motivations that informed the Reformation of Manners, a religious movement in early 18th-century England. It originated in an alliance between clergy and the landed elite in opposition to popular leisure activities that were seen to threaten the social and moral order. The movement's activities were supported by a wide cross-section of society, including members of the aristocracy, the Church of England, and the merchant class. The author reveals the movement's far-reaching impact on English society, including the enactment of new laws to suppress gambling, cursing, and unlicensed theatrical performances, as well as the creation of dedicated institutions to promote religious education and moral reform. The book demonstrates how the movement led to a fundamental shift in the relationship between the state and the individual. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English society and the origins of modern attitudes towards morality and social order. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333980092_0
