  • Product Description

    This book considers the religious ideas, attitudes, and values of working people in the London Borough of Southwark between 1880 and 1939. It shows the persistence of folk beliefs usually assumed to have died out in the cities and highlights the importance of religion in the daily life of the community. It illustrates how orthodox and institutional expressions of belief were reinterpreted within local culture to form part of a distinctive pattern of urban popular religious belief.
