Attitudes towards divorce have changed considerably over the past
two centuries. As society has moved away from a Biblical definition
of marriage as an indissoluble union, to that of an individual and
personal relationship, secular laws have evolved as well. Using
unpublished sources and previously inaccessible private
collections, Holmes explores the significant role the Church of
England has played in these changes, as well as the impact this has
had on ecclesiastical policies. This timely study will be relevant
to ongoing debates about the meaning and nature of marriage,
including the theological doctrines and ecclesiastical policies
underlying current debates on same-sex marriage.

'In front of Nature' is the first monograph to feature the work of
Thomas Fearnley (1802-1842), a major artist in the tradition of the
great romantics like Caspar David Friedrich, J.C. Dahl and
J.M.W.Turner. This volume reveals the full range of Fearnley's
landscape paintings, from large oils to spontaneous sketches, which
he produced 'en plein air' during his summer travels. Fearnley's
entire career is considered: Frode Ernst Haverkamp studies his
Norwegian upbringing and influence, David Jackson looks at his
extensive travels to artistic centres in Italy and Germany,
including Dresden where he studied under J. C. Dahl, and his return
to Norway via the Swiss Alps and Britain. Ann Sumner studies the
artist's little-known British paintings, including his tour of the
Lake District and involvement with the Etching Society. Greg Smith
focuses on how Fearnley appears in his own landscape studies and in
a new type of contemporary painting: gatherings of artists in
social settings.
