Naomi Royde-Smith noted that almost all of its characters have names, pseudonyms and aliases, and that it makes some criticism of the Church of England as well as the Catholic Church (but not of...

She described it as a vision of a Church of England recreated from within, with a rebel, and not—as in Robert Elsmere—an exile, for a hero. The eponymous protagonist passionately and eloquently defends...

In these polemical speeches, MR not only argues for women's suffrage, but also specifically calls on the Church of England to help women win the vote. She begins by posing the question, is women's suffrage...
