Before Queen Anne's reign had even begun, rival factions in both
Church and State were jostling for position in her court.
Attempting to follow a moderate course, the new monarch and her
advisors had to be constantly wary of the attempts of extremists on
both sides to gain the upper hand. The result was a see-saw period
of alternating influence that has fascinated historians and
political commentators. In this engaging new study, Barry Levis
shows that although both parties claimed to be in support of the
Church, their real aim was advancing their respective political
positions. Uniting close analysis of Queen Anne's changing policies
towards dissenters, occasional conformity and church appointments
with studies of the careers of several prominent churchmen and
politicians, Levis paints a gripping picture of competing religious
values and political ambitions. Most significantly, he shows that,
far from being restricted to the church and political elites, these
conflicts were to have a cascading influence on the division of the
country long after the Queen's reign ended.
