Product Description
Review
Readable biographical study of Edward Hicks ... excellent at providing a detailed, informed commentary on Hick's own life and work ... this is a welcome and, in its way, illuminating study of a neglected figure and a neglected strand of Anglicanism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As historians gradually begin to roll their attention forward into the twentieth century itself, I have no doubt that Neville's study is going to be a vital point of reference. (Journal of Theological Studies )
Hicks was a mild though conscientious reformer, and the book's merit is to illuminate through Hicks one instance of the marginalia of the new liberalism, as well as the changing social concerns that motivated an increasing number of progressive clerics. (English Historical Review )
This book is the first study of how a radical liberal churchman moved towards Labour ... it shows how someone with talent could ride the two wild horses of the century - biblical scholarship and the development of a middle-class conscience - for the benefit of Church and state alike. (Frank Field MP, The Independent )
This is a very good biography ... scholars of Victorian and Edwardian religion or politics will find much here that is of use and deep interest. (American Historical Review )
We are in Graham Neville's debt for his labour of love ... Iadical Churchman will be of interest to the historian of the Edwardian and Great War period ... this significant book is to be warmly welcomed. (Theology )

First Sentence
If we read Ruskin's diatribes against the commercialism he saw all about him, we must often be struck with the curious way in which they match some current criticisms of the worst aspects of society in our own age. Read the first page
