Pulpit, periodical, and pen: Joseph Benson, and Methodist influence in the Victorian prelude

The moral and religious ethos that permeated Victorian England was in part the result of the fervor of the Methodist movement begun in the eighteenth century by John Wesley. The continued growth and influence of Methodism in the post-Wesley era may be attributed to competent leaders, such as Joseph Benson (1748-1821), and the extensive organization that Wesley had created, including the circuit system and the use of the press to propagandize through books, pamphlets, and a monthly magazine.
