Religion and Modern British History Symposium

Following the success of similar day conferences in 2009, the Modern British History Network is planning an exciting new event for next year’s schedule. In March 2010 we will sponsor our first symposium on ‘Religion and Modern British History’.  We welcome short papers by academics and postgraduates, whether sharply focused or wide ranging, on any topic related to the influence of religion in Britain since c. 1750. They may cover national or local developments in any aspect of the British past down to c. 2000, but must be planned to last no more than 25 minutes in delivery. We hope there will be coverage of the whole period since the late eighteenth century.

Keynote Lectures to be given by:

• Professor Stewart J. Brown (New College, University of Edinburgh) 'The Broad Church
  Movement and National Culture in Great Britain, c.1850-c.1900'
• Dr Martin Spence (International Christian College, Glasgow) 'Premillennialism, Society and
  Reform in Nineteenth-Century Britain'
