Description
Summary:"This is a book about believing selves in unbelieving worlds; about ties that cannot be broken, and about those who must be adhered to in order to remain faithful; about the moves ordinary people dare make against overwhelming power-at-play, and the calibrated theatre of hiding and display that ordinary living demands. It is about what E.P. Thompson judged to call the "moral economy" of interaction between those of the street and field, and the righteous faithful, in the guise of Moravians, Wesleyans, and Presbyterians in eighteenth century Britain."--Introduction
