J. Foakes-Jackson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to explore and depict the social fabric of England during the 18th and early 19th centuries through various personalities and their experiences. The book focuses particularly on John Wesley, a notable figure of this era, as a lens to understand the societal norms, challenges, and cultural shifts of the time. The opening of the book begins with an introduction to John Wesley's life as a means to illustrate the social climate of England during the 18th century. The author reflects on the complexities surrounding Wesley's character, emphasizing his insights into the human condition contrasted with the frivolities of his contemporaries. The text delves into Wesley’s background, unpacking his family's legacy of intellectual and artistic talent, and mapping out his exceptional life as a preacher and social reformer. Foakes-Jackson also highlights Wesley's critical observations about society, providing a richer context of the period's moral struggles and social issues connected to the existing religious practices and the rise of Methodism.
