What this book is about
Sabine Baring-Gould's 1891 novel is set on Dartmoor during the period of early Methodism's spread through England. Urith, a young woman of the moors, is caught between a conventional suitor and a Methodist preacher who represents a different kind of world entirely. Baring-Gould — better known as the author of 'Onward Christian Soldiers' — brings an intimate knowledge of Devon landscape and religious history to the story.
