Fox, George (1624–91), son of a Leicestershire weaver and founder of the Society of
Friends, or Quakers, in 1648–50. Fox abandoned church attendance and became an itinerant apostle preaching the Inner Light of Christ, interrupting church services, and causing riots and disturbances. The home of Margaret Fell (1614–1702) at Swarthmoor, Ulverston, became his headquarters from 1652 and he married her in 1669. He travelled widely in the British Isles, the New World, and Holland and suffered imprisonments. He was a compulsive controversialist, attacking the Ranters, the state Church, the law, and prejudice against women preachers in innumerable epistles and pamphlets. His
Journal (1694), revised by a committee under the superintendence of
Penn, describes in idiomatic and abrasive prose his spiritual journey and the trials of the movement.
