This engrossing book traces the social history of Protestant Sunday schools from their origins in the 1790s--when they taught literacy to poor working children--to their consolidation in the 1870s, when they had become the primary source of new church members for the major Protestant denominations. Anne M. Boylan describes not only the schools themselves but also their place within a national network of evangelical institutions, their complementary relationship to local common schools, and their connection with the changing history of youth and women in the nineteenth century. Her book is a signal contribution to our understanding of American religious and social history, education history, women's history, and the history of childhood.

Excerpt from The Sunday-School in the Development of the American Church These pages form an endeavor to compile out of first-hand documents the records of American Sunday-school work from the standpoint of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Out of her loins came the early Sunday-school movements, though no attempt has yet been made to record the facts. Indeed, there have been times in the Church's career, when apology for the presence of Sunday-school activity was in fashion. Yet the truth remains. And a careful study of the facts in their bearing on the larger movements in Church history will throw much light on the latter, revealing causes and influences, whose effects must be considered, if mature judgment on these movements is to be rendered.
