Description

This comprehensive study examines the pivotal role of religion in the British Army throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, drawing on extensive analysis of official military sources, religious publications, and personal memoirs. Michael Snape challenges the conventional assumption that religion held no significance in the British soldier's experience until the mid-Victorian period, presenting substantial evidence that British soldiers were deeply susceptible to religious influences long before the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny brought the subject into wider public consciousness. The book offers scholars, historians, and students of military history, religious studies, and British society a thorough reassessment of how faith shaped military culture, soldier identity, and institutional practices during a transformative era of British military development.

Key Features

The Redcoat and Religion provides extensive analysis of official military sources spanning the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to establish religion's documented influence on British Army culture.

Michael Snape draws on religious publications and personal soldier memoirs to present primary evidence that challenges established historical assumptions about military secularism.

This Routledge publication offers comprehensive coverage of how British soldiers experienced religious faith during the Age of Marlborough through the eve of the First World War.

The book demonstrates that religious susceptibility among British soldiers predated the Crimean War by generations, revising widely-held historical interpretations of military life.
