Religion in Victorian England

Religion in Victorian England was a major factor in society and politics. Historian G. Kitson Clark says that apart from the 17th century, "In no other century did the claims of religion occupy so large a part in the nation's life, nor did men speaking in the name of religion contrived to exercise so much power." He emphasizes major social reforms and argues the main motivating force was the evangelical revival movement inside and outside the Church of England.
