This study examines the significance of the influential High Church
'Hackney Phalanx' at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and
opens up a little-explored area of Anglican history. Drawing
extensively upon original correspondence, Elizabeth Varley
reconstructs the work of the Hackney Phalanx and their defence of
traditional Anglican ascendancy against the forces of political and
religious reform during the final crisis of the English
confessional state. The study focuses upon William Van Mildert,
Bishop of Durham from 1826-36, and shows that, while Van Mildert's
influence as 'Prince Bishop' bore little resemblance to his
medieval forebears, he made effective use of it to cause
considerable irritation to the Whig establishment of the day, local
and national. Varley brings skilfully to life many of the tensions
of that time - political and ecclesiastical - which culminated in
the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829 and the passing of the
Parliamentary Reform Bill in 1832.
