William Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury 1828-1848, led the Church
of England during the beginning and expansion of the Oxford
Movement, at a time when the precursor to the Church Commissioners
was established, and during the momentous debates and decisions in
Parliament which saw the final retreat from the myth of an all
Anglican legislature. Howley's chairmanship of the commissions of
the 1830s and 1840s which began the gargantuan task of reforming
the Church's practices and re-arranging its finances, made him an
object of fury and scorn to some of those who benefited from things
as they were, most especially in the cathedrals. Exploring the
central events and debates within the Church of England in the
first half of the nineteenth century, this book draws on primary
and secondary evidence about Howley's career and influence. A
section of original sources, including his Charges and other public
documents, correspondence and speeches in the House of Lords,
places Howley's achievements in proper context and illustrates his
prevailing concerns in education, the establishment and political
reform, relationships with the Tractarians, and in the early stages
of Church reform. Dealing thematically with many of the issues
faced by Howley, and exploring his own High Church theological
views in historical context, James Garrard offers a fruitful
re-appraisal of the intellectual, spiritual and 'party' context in
which Howley moved.
