Three lectures, rooted in place and controversy, trace how the Society of Friends took hold in Bristol and Somersetshire. From city lanes to neighbouring villages, the story is local, human, and urgent. Listen to Bristol’s dissenting voices. William Tanner writes with the immediacy of a witness to tradition, mapping meetings, tensions, and turning points that shaped the early quaker movement in seventeenth century England.Presented as religious history lectures, this quaker history book draws together the society of friends origins with the civic and spiritual life of the West Country. Its measured tone keeps the drama of conscience in view, without losing sight of dates, places, and people. It is equally rewarding as a church history reference and as genealogy local history, illuminating the networks of families, trades, and congregations that carried Quaker witness beyond the city. Readers interested in English dissenters history will find clear orientation amid the ferment that surrounded George Fox quakerism and the wider story of nonconformity. As a piece of religious historiography, it shows how memory, testimony, and record-keeping held the movement together.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Offered as a complete text edition, ideal for shelves devoted to Bristol and Somersetshire studies. This volume suits historians, students, and general readers who want quakerism in Bristol rendered with care, and classic-library collectors who value enduring works of religious and regional history.
