Outside the United States (originating in <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a> and then rippling out into the English-speaking world) the English major became popular in the latter half of the 19th century, during a time when religious beliefs were shaken in the face of scientific discoveries.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Literature" title="Literature">Literature</a> was thought to act as a replacement for <a href="/wiki/Religion" title="Religion">religion</a> in the retention and advancement of culture, and the English Major thus provided students with the chance to draw <a href="/wiki/Moral" title="Moral">moral</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ethical" class="mw-redirect" title="Ethical">ethical</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Philosophical" class="mw-redirect" title="Philosophical">philosophical</a> qualities and meanings of older studies from a richer and broader source of literature than that of the ancient <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greece" title="Ancient Greece">Greek</a> and <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> classics.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 1990s, there was a collective effort by Anglicists to standardize the academic discipline to follow similar methods of analysis and self-evaluation of both English literature and the criticism of said literature.
