Transatlantic Methodists steps across the abyss that separates pre-Confederation and post-Confederation historians, presenting an opportunity to assess the nineteenth century more holistically. It will appeal strongly to those with an interest in British Atlantic history, Atlantic history, and the British Empire. Robynne Healey, Department of History, Trinity Western University

Todd Webb's superbly researched analysis in Transatlantic Methodists adds a great deal to our knowledge. Webb looks at well-established themes in Methodist historiography differently [from earlier works], since he is alive to the trans-Atlantic world that Methodism in Canada was a part of. This excellent book is an update of J.M.S. Careless' now-classic metropolitan thesis. In fact, Webb has reinvigorated our understanding of the dynamic relationship between metropolis and hinterland by integrating the new historiography of Methodism in Britain and the trans-Atlantic world into his meticulous research into Methodism in Canada. Canadian Historical Review

Transatlantic Methodists is an important study, the most comprehensive of its kind. Webb draws upon an impressive array of material from both sides of the Atlantic -- personal papers, magazines, correspondence, minutes, journals, pamphlets, and published works -- and handles it with skill and sophistication.
