Religion and Society in a Cotswold Vale - Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, 1780-1865

"Urdank has mastered an immense amount of material. . . . It is a valuable case study that will broaden and sharpen our understanding of religion in the early nineteenth century as well as introduce much-needed new information."—Edward M. Cook, Jr., University of Chicago
 
"The author has done a splendid job of reconstructing all the important social dimensions of this community. . . . This is a well-documented, readable, and thorough account of the ways in which religious conviction and its social environment interacted in an English village during the course of industrialization. . . . It provides a standard of methodological detail and sophistication as well as substantive conclusions against which to compare the results of other local studies and theories of a more general sort."—Robert Wuthnow, author of Meaning and Moral Order
