This study of recruitment to the ministry of the Church of England
in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries overturns
many long-standing assumptions about the education and backgrounds
of the clergy in late HanoverianEngland and Wales. This study of
recruitment to the ministry of the Church of England in the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries overturns many
long-standing assumptions about the education and backgrounds of
the clergy in late HanoverianEngland and Wales. It offers insights
into the nature and development of the profession generally and
into the role that individual bishops played in shaping the
staffing of their dioceses. In its exploration of how it was
possible for boys of relatively humble social origins to be
promoted into the pulpits of the established Church, it throws
light on mechanisms of social mobility and shows how aspirant
clergy went about fashioning a credible social andprofessional
identity. By examining how would be clergymen were educated and
professionally formed, the book shows that, alongside the
well-known route through the universities, there was an alternative
route via specialist grammar schools. Prospective ordinands might
also seek out clerical tutors to help them to study for the
academic parts of ordination exams and to prepare for the spiritual
and pastoral aspects of their role. These alternativemethods of
ordination preparation were sometimes under the cognizance of
bishops, and occasionally under their control, but they were
generally authored by parish clergy and were small-scale,
self-supporting, bottom-up solutions to the needs of upcoming
generations of clergy. This book has much to interest historians of
religion, culture, class and education, and illustrates how
in-depth prosopographical study can offer fresh perspectives. SARA
