Anglican Church

The Burges children's father, though he is against Pusey ism, is broad-minded about Puseyites as he is in other respects: visitors to their house include not only Anglicans but Moravians , a Baptist ...

She strikes a newly bold, almost an insurrectionary note here, calling upon revolutionary France, indeed, to provide a model. [W]hatever is corrupted must be lopt away, she writes, as people assert their long forgotten...

The title poem of Ellen comes from a story lately reported by newspapers. Other pieces (several of them ballads) deal with historical figures like Queen Elizabeth , Cardinal Wolsey , an anonymous monk, and the...

Both these novels feature French and Latin tags in their text, but lack epigraphs at the head of chapters. The Quakers, which Garside calls Opie -esque, is written in a confident, literary style and...

Her letters, on the evidence of those included in Dorothea Mozley 's Newman Family Letters (published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in 1962), are highly intelligent and entertaining. As a girl she rattles...

She begins this book with a method not unlike that of Experimental Lives from Cato to George Sand. Her first chapter, Pioneers in Conversion, centres its topic on individuals, relating the sudden transformation...
