Overall, the book exemplifies the important role of historians who are uncomfortable with magisterial generalization and happier in the trenches of complex particulars. Throughout the book, Young ties the reader down to interesting thinkers, letting them speak to us using their own categories and perspectives--not ours. This is, then, a closely-argued and intelligent book which seeks to redirect the study of eighteenth-century English intellectual history. Alas, it will be less successful than it deserves to be as a consequence of its narrowness of focus and initial obscurity.
B. W. Young describes and analyses the intellectual culture of the eighteenth-century Church of England, in particular relation to those developments traditionally described as constituting the Enlightenment. It challenges conventional perceptions of an intellectually moribund institution bycontextualising the polemical and scholarly debates in which churchmen engaged. In particular, it delineates the vigorous clerical culture in which much eighteenth-century thought evolved. The book traces the creation of a self-consciously enlightened tradition within Anglicanism, which drew onErasmianism, seventeenth-century eirenicism and the legacy of Locke. By emphasizing the variety of its intellectual life, the book challenges those notions of Enlightenment which advance predominantly political interpretations of this period. Thus, eighteenth-century critics of the Enlightenment,notably those who contributed to a burgeoning interest in mysticism, are equally integral to this study.
