This volume is an anthology of early Methodist women's writings from about 1739-1815. Composed of letter, accounts of religious experience, diaries, journals, and other prose works, this anthology of early Methodist women's writings from about 1739-1815 provides a new vantage point from which to view the renewal of Christianity in the Wesleyan revival. This collection reflects an age of spiritual discovery with bursts of insight and stories that inspire and challenge. Chilcote gives a substantial introduction to the volume as a whole, then also introduces each category of writing and each individual author. Beyond providing a contextual backdrop, he lets each woman speak for herself.
