R.H. Charles: A Biography first situates Charles's work in the
history of biblical scholarship. The remainder of the book is
divided into three parts that draw on material stored in several
archives and other sources. The first provides an account of his
early life and education in Ireland. Part two is devoted to his
Oxford years (1890-1913). Within a chronological framework, the
chapters regarding the Oxford period focus on his pioneering work
with Jewish apocalypses as evident in his many textual editions,
translations, and commentaries. For all of his major publications
an attempt is made to assess how his work was received at the time
and how it continues to affect the field of early Judaism. The
third part furnishes a biographical overview of his work as a canon
of Westminster (1913-31). At the Abbey, he carried out pastoral
duties but also published books that made contributions to publicly
debated issues such as divorce, while at the same time continuing
his scholarly endeavours. The volume includes bibliographies of
Charles's many publications and of works cited.
