The Evangelical party of the Church of England (the established
church) flourished from 1789 to 1850, and during that time

its dissenting or nonconformist allies, was responsible for many
of the attitudes today thought of as "Victorian." These heirs of
the seventeenth-century Puritans believed that human beings are
corrupt and need Christ to save them — thus the emphasis upon
puritanical morality and rigidity; that (in sharp contrast to
the High Church Tractarians) the church hierarchy and church
ritual are not as crucial to individual salvation as a personal
conversion based on an emotional, imaginative comprehension of
both one's own innate depravity and Christ's redeeming sacrifice
— thus the emphasis upon an essentially Romantic conception of
religion that stressed imagination, intensity, and emotion, and
also upon the Bible, which could provide such imaginative
experience of the truths of religion. What effects would you
