Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to examine how epistles and testimonies sent between Quaker meetings in England and Ireland shaped their religious identity and ensured discipline in their communities. The thesis consists of an introduction, a first chapter discussing the history of mentalities leading to a discussion of sect to denomination development, a second chapter outlining the historical background of the Religious Society of Friends to 1660 and recent historiography concerning their adherents in Ireland, and six further chapters.
