Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian Pulpit is the first book to employ the methods of orality-literacy scholarship in the study of the nineteenth-century British sermon.

The book concludes by suggesting other ways of bringing orality-literacy studies and Victorian scholarship together.
