Charles Wesley's reputation has been affected by his sometimes difficult personality and the controversial views that he championed, which has resulted in comparative neglect of his life and ministry. A strong case can, however, be presented for Charles having made a more positive contribution to the long‐term success and character of Methodism than is commonly acknowledged. His championship of a considerable body of pro‐Anglican opinion within the movement helped to stave off separation until the movement was in a position to flourish independently of the Church of England and also contributed to the unique character of the Methodist Church. Detailed study of Charles Wesley's life and ministry underlines the case for a new examination of aspects of Methodist history, complementary to but separate from the traditional focus on John Wesley.Less

This chapter studies the Woolfs' engagement with working-class topics and working-class writers in both society and politics, and the fiction categories. It shows a developing Hogarth Press network during the 1930s and maps a complicated set of negotiations on the poetry and fiction side between writers. Some of these writers are John Hampson, a Birmingham Group novelist, and Huw Menai, a Welsh poet, both of whom wanted to downplay their roots in the working class. The chapter also considers the publishers who saw profit in promoting these writers.Less
