The Burned-over District: The Social and Intellectual History of Enthusiastic Religion in Western New York, 1800-1850Cornell University Press, 1950 - 383 During the first half of the nineteenth century the wooded hills and the valleys of western New York State were swept by fires of the spirit. The fervent religiosity of the region caused historians to call it the "burned-over district." This book is a study of the social, cultural, economic, political, and ideological causations of the great religious upheavals of the time and their far-reaching effects upon American culture. --from back cover. |
