The life and times of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, Vol. 1 of 2

The memoir offers a rare, intimate portrait of one of the eighteenth‑century’s most influential patrons of the evangelical revival. Drawn from private letters, diary entries and the careful research of a family descendant, it places the Countess of Huntingdon at the centre of a network that included figures such as George Whitefield and John Wesley. Readers are invited to follow her steady dedication to spreading what she saw as the “glory of God,” from the opening of chapels to the personal encouragement she gave to struggling ministers.

Beyond her public ministries, the work reveals the Countess’s everyday life – her friendships, her modest comforts, and the quiet resolve that guided her considerable fortune toward charitable ends. The author’s tone remains honest and unpretentious, avoiding sectarian bias while letting the original correspondence speak for itself. Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of how one determined woman helped shape religious thought and practice across Britain and beyond.
