This book is the first full-length treatment of Walter Hussey's
work as a patron between 1943 and 1978, first for the Anglican
parish church of St Matthew in Northampton, and then at Chichester
Cathedral. He was responsible for the most significant sequence of
works of art commissioned for the British churches in the twentieth
century. They included music by Benjamin Britten, Leonard Bernstein
and William Walton, visual art by Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland
and Marc Chagall, and poetry by W. H. Auden. Placing Hussey in
theological context and in a period of rapid cultural change, it
explores the making and reception of the commissions, and the
longer-term influence of his work, still felt today. As well as
contributing to the religious and cultural history of Britain, and
of Anglo-Catholicism and the cathedrals in particular, the book
will be of interest to all those concerned with the relationship
between theology and the arts, and to historians of music and the
visual arts.
