In the early nineteenth century, a new popular missionary movement swept England which aimed at global cultural transformation. The Civilising Mission and the English Middle Class traces the development of the movement, from its beginnings in evangelical enthusiasm in the 1790s, coming to infuse English domestic, social and political cultures by the 1820s, to the 1840s and early 1850s, whenit occupied a central place in a broader national culture. It explores the role of missionary philanthropy in the development of new middle-class and provincial civic cultures; the extensive role of women and children in the movement; and changing ideas about race and cultural difference. It considers the various ways in which the project was undercut: by resistance to the Christian message; differences of class and authority within the project; challenges from a new breed of domestic reformersin the 1830s and 1840s; and the anxiety that the advance of civilisation was no certainty at home.
