In this, the first biography of Archibald Campbell Tait since his
son-in-law, Randall Davidson's in 1891, John Witheridge tells the
story of how a Scottish outsider became Queen Victoria's favourite
Archbishop of Canterbury, and the most powerful since Laud in the
seventeenth century. Following his childhood in Edinburgh and
education at Glasgow University and Balliol College, Oxford,
Witheridge describes how Tait's life was shaped by faith, duty and
diligence, as well as by harrowing experiences of illness and
death. Tait was never content to be an ecclesiastical dignitary,
but was ready to intervene and give a lead in the many conflicts,
theological and political, that defined his fourteen years at
Lambeth. While not always successful, Tait's leadership of the
Church during a period of controversy at home and challenge
overseas, bravely accomplished against a background of personal
tragedy, makes him a landmark figure in the history of the Church
of England.
