CHARLES HARTSHORN MAXSON, was an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the University of Pennsylvania who in 1920 published his book "The Great Awakening in the Middle Colonies." The work done long ago by Professor Charles Hartshorn Maxson adds a study of the awakening of religious passion in the Middle Colonies, using not only the materials found in books and pamphlets, but also newspapers and manuscript sermons and records. German, Dutch, and Scotch-Irish revival beginnings, independent in origin but affecting one another, made the country “ready to be swept by a wave of emotionalism, if only a leader could be found who was broad in sympathy, deep in emotional experience, and commissioned by a prophet’s gift of utterance. This leader was found in George Whitefield.” What we call the Great Awakening was American participation in an international and interdenominational movement, and it is of interest to discover the channels by which this energizing of religious sensibility spread from land to land. Maxson writes: "In the middle of the eighteenth century a tidal wave of religious fervor and reforming zeal swept over the British colonies in America. When this wave of emotionalism had passed, when the extraordinary in Christian experience and activity had given place to the ordinary, the friends of the revival, and after them their sons and sons' sons, called it the Great Awakening."Not only was the Great Awakening an intercolonial movement; it was part of a larger awakening within the whole British Empire which may very properly be called the Methodist Revival. Waves of influence crossed the Atlantic in both directions. The remarkable revival which began in 1734 at Northampton under the preaching of Jonathan Edwards."ContentsI.
