This is the first collection of the complete writings of Susanna Wesley, the mother of John, Charles, and Samuel Wesley, the founding fathers of Methodism. As an outstanding female figure of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, her writings should interest not only Methodists' but feminists and scholars of English social and religious history as well.
