Reviews

An impressive and ground-breaking book, integrating for the first time the material and moral lives of the eighteenth century parson ... meticulously researched and based on an extensive array of sources. Essential reading for scholars of religion and material culture. * William Gibson, Oxford Brookes University, UK * A major contribution, addressing an important yet understudied topic – the parish clergy in the long eighteenth century – by placing them within a well-developed literature on consumption, domestic space, material culture, and the history of religion ... It is sure to become a standard source. * Stephen G. Hague, Rowan University, USA * Jon Stobart draws a richly textured portrait of the clergy in Georgian England. His landmark study is an enjoyable and necessary reading of clergymen’s identities, social practices, everyday routines, consumption, and material culture of home and household in the long eighteenth century. * Johanna Ilmakunnas, Åbo Akademi University, Finland *
