In his poetry and still unpublished sermons, Barnes spoke directly to his community in an Old West Saxon Dorset dialect about the early Christianity of their ancient ancestors. I argue that this early Dorset Christianity offered Barnes a way out of nineteenth-century Christian schisms and was also congruous with his interests in the linguistic and religious practices, myths, folklore, and archaeology of Dorset. I also propose that in embracing this early Christianity, Barnes denounced a modern Protestant imperialism whose colonizing mission functioned to eliminate local as well as global linguistic and religious specificities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
