RIVERS, I. W., Dissenting Praise. Religious Dissent and the Hymn in England and Wales. Oxford University Press, 2011. 320p. Hardback. Its consistently thought-provoking and original scholarship will ensure that this volume becomes an important point of reference for future studies of the dissenting hymn, particularly in its eighteenth-century incarnations. More than that, though, it is a fine example of what a strong edited volume can do. The contributors varying approaches and viewpoints ensure a thorough coverage of the subject from several angles, while the unifying structure prevents the individual contributions from seeming isolated or unrelated. It should be heartily recommended as a valuable introduction to hymnody in all its aspects during this period.
