Archbishop Howley, 1828-1848

Exploring the central events and debates within the Church of England in the first half of the nineteenth century, this book examines Howley's career and influence. A section of primary sources places Howley's achievements in proper context and illustrates his prevailing concerns in education, the establishment and political reform. Dealing thematically with many of the issues faced by Howley, and exploring his own High Church theological views in historical context, Garrard offers a fruitful re-appraisal of the intellectual, spiritual and 'party' context in which Howley moved.
