| Summary: | This article examines the internal dynamics of revival in Wesleyan Methodism in north Cumbria in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It seeks to identify whether those who were converted in specific revivals were drawn from within the existing Methodist community or from outside. In one example, Sunday scholars' rolls were used in conjunction with an exercise in household penetration to show that momentum for the revival took hold among those already participating on the fringes of a Wesleyan society. It will be argued that revival remained popular in these Cumbrian Methodist societies into the twentieth century. |
