Religion in the British Navy, 1815-1879: Piety and Professionalism

by Richard Blake

The book traces the gradual shift of evangelical piety from peripheral eccentricity to dominant source of values. It also shows how the navy's newly awakened religious sensibilities were in step with the kinds of mission the navy increasingly had to engage in, including exploration, imperial expansion, and worldwide maritime policing operations.
