Description

"The lives of the Colby family offer insights into the construction and practice of domestic religion and the moral and social legislation of early post-Confederation Canada. Taking a multidisciplinary approach that locates the home rather than the church as the primary site of religious change, Van Die concludes that the origins and continuity of Protestant religion in Victorian Canada depended on a unique set of socioeconomic and cultural forces. Religion, Family, and Community in Victorian Canada is an intimate portrait of "lived religion" as experienced by a middle-class family over three generations."--Jacket.
