The Victorian Pulpit: Spoken and Written Sermons in Nineteenth-century Britain

Couverture
Susquehanna University Press, 1998 - 178 pages
The Victorian Pulpit is the first book to employ the methods of orality-literacy scholarship in the study of the nineteenth-century British sermon. The first chapters present three ways in which Victorian preaching was a conflation of oral and written practice. The second part is an analysis of the rhetoric of three prominent ministers. The book concludes by suggesting other ways of bringing orality-literacy studies and Victorian scholarship together.
