Florence Nightingale is best known as a woman of action--a founder
of modern nursing, a reformer in the field of public health, and a
pioneer in the use of statistics. What is not generally appreciated
is that Nightingale was deeply engaged in the religious and
philosophical thought of her time and that the primary aim of her
life was not to reform social institutions but to serve God.
Although Nightingale gave primacy to her spiritual life, few of the
books written about her have done so, and, until recently, few of
her own writings about religion have been published. This failure
to attend to Nightingale's spiritual life began to change during
the 1980s, most significantly with the 1994 publication of
Suggestions for Thought, her own presentation of her religious
views.
At the heart of "The Friendship of Florence Nightingale and Mary
Clare Moore" are forty-seven letters written by Nightingale to
Moore--her "Dearest Reverend Mother"--the founding superior of the
Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy in Bermondsey, London; ten letters
written by Moore to Nightingale; and five letters written by
Nightingale about Clare to other Sisters of Mercy. These letters
illustrate the personal lives and spiritual struggles and
aspirations of two highly influential women in Victorian England:
one working to achieve military and governmental reforms, the other
designing and implementing new church-related services to the
poor-both bound together by their devotion to those who were
neglected, by nursing and other skills, by mature Christian faith,
and by their engaging affection for one another.
