This groundbreaking collection sheds new light on a range of subjects, including the often tense relations between Quakers and the authorities, the role of female Friends during the Second Period, the effect of major industrial development on Quakerism, and comparisons between founder George Fox and the younger generation of Quakers, such as Robert Barclay, George Keith, and William Penn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessible, well-researched, and seamlessly comprehensive, \u003ci\u003eThe Quakers, 1656-1723\u003c\/i\u003e promises to reinvigorate a conversation largely ignored by scholarship over the last century and to become the definitive work on this important era in Quaker history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the authors, the contributors are Erin Bell, Raymond Brown, J.
