John Wesley and the Liberty to Speak: The Rhetorical and Literacy Practices of Early Methodism

Vicki Tolar Burton

Abstract

In early Methodism John Wesley created an extracurricular site of literacy and rhetoric that empowered women and the working classes to read, write, and speak in public. Wesley’s “method” of literacy in community not only transformed religious life in Britain but also redefined the intersections of education, class, and gender.
