Revivals are outbursts of religious enthusiasm in which there are numerous        conversions. In this book the phenomenon of revival is set in its broad historical        and historiographical context. David Bebbington provides detailed case-studies of        awakenings that took place between 1841 and 1880 in Britain, North America and        Australia, showing that the distinctive features of particular revivals were the        result less of national differences than of denominational variations. Theserevivals        occurred in many places across the globe, but revealed the shared characteristics of        evangelical Protestantism. Bebbington explores the preconditions of revival, giving        attention to the cultural setting of each episode as well as the form of piety        displayed by the participants.No single cause can be assigned to the awakenings, but        one of the chief factors behind them was occupational structure and striking        instances of death were often a precipitant. Ideas were far more involved in these        events than historians have normally supposed, so that the case-studies demonstrate        some of the main patterns in religious thought at a popular level during the        Victorian period. Laymen and women played a disproportionate part in their promotion        and converts were usually drawn inlarge numbers from the young. There was a trend        over time away from traditional spontaneity towards more organised methods sometimes        entailing interdenominational co-operation.
