Enthusiasm display'd, or, The Moor Fields Congregation - A Satirical View of George Whitefield's Evangelical Sermon at Moorfields, London, 1739
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a provocative print that offers a scathing critique of the renowned evangelical Methodist minister, George Whitefield. The image, created in 1739, depicts Whitefield delivering a sermon at Moorfields, London, surrounded by a cast of characters that personify various vices and follies. Whitefield is shown in the center of the print, passionately preaching to a large crowd. He is supported by two women, one labeled "Hypocrisy," who wears a mask, and the other, "Deceit," who holds a Janus-faced mirror. These figures represent the duplicitous nature of some members of the congregation. To the left of the preacher, three woodcocks are depicted. One woodcock is shown with a worm in its beak, while the other two appear dead or trapped. The caption "Trapped" is inscribed beneath them, symbolizing the fate of those who are ensnared by Whitefield's message. On the right side of the print, a woman reclines on the ground, labeled "Folly." She holds a jester's staff and is accompanied by a monkey. The inscription "Thirty-nine approaches forty-one" is written above her, possibly referring to Whitefield's preaching in America in 1739 and his expected return to England in 1841. This detail suggests that the print was created several decades after the event it depicts. The poem accompanying the print offers a biting commentary on Whitefield and his followers, mocking their enthusiasm and the supposed emptiness of their faith. The satirical nature of the print underscores the complex relationship between religious fervor and skepticism during this period. Overall, "Enthusiasm display'd, or, The Moor Fields Congregation" offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and cultural landscape of 18th-century England, revealing the tensions and contradictions that existed within the evangelical movement and beyond.
