Controversy, especially religious controversy, was the great
spectator sport of Victorian England. This work is a study of the
biggest and best of Victorian religious controversies. Essays and
Reviews (1860) was a composite volume of seven authors (six of them
Anglican clergymen) which brought England its first serious
exposure to biblical criticism. It evoked a controversy lasting
four years, including articles in newspapers, magazines and
reviews, clerical and episcopal censures, a torrent of tracts,
pamphlets and sermons, followed by weightier tomes (and reviews of
all these), prosecution for heresy in the ecclesiastical courts,
appeal to the highest secular court, condemnation by the
Convocation of the clergy and a debate in Parliament. Essays and
Reviews was the culmination and final act of the Broad Church
movement. Outwardly the conflict ended inconclusively; at a deeper
level, it marked the exhaustion both of the Broad Church and of
Anglican orthodoxy and the commencement of an era of religious
doubt. This controversy illustrates the pathology of Victorian
religion in its demonstration of the propensity to controvert and
the methods of controversialists. It is both the greatest Victorian
crisis of faith and the best case study of Victorian religious
controversy.
The first collection of readings designed to supplement Irish
History courses, this book includes 42 religious documents,
historical statutes, acts of Parliament, speeches, proclamations,
poems, and other selections fundamental to understanding Ireland's
rich history.

Lord Acton (1834 1902) and Richard Simpson (1820 76) were the
principal figures in the Liberal Catholic movement of
nineteenth-century England, an ultimately unsuccessful effort to
reconcile the Roman Catholic Church with the leading secular
thought of the day. They collaborated in editing the Rambler (1858
62) and the Home and Foreign Review (1862 4), two of the most
distinguished Catholic periodicals of the period. The
correspondence is the record of this collaboration and sheds light
on the religious, political and intellectual history of
mid-nineteenth-century England. Though heaviest for the years of
their joint work on the Rambler and the Home and Foreign Review,
the correspondence continued up to 1875, a year before Simpson's
death.

Religion played a very special role in the life of
nineteenth-century Britain. This period saw the last great revival
of religion, which shaped the pattern of attitudes and behavior we
now call Victorian. The religious periodical press was the
preeminent medium of communication on all subjects in the
nineteenth century and is the best primary source for the study of
religion. In this first systematic and comprehensive treatment of
nineteenth-century British religious journalism, the more important
or representative periodicals are identified and assigned to their
respective denominations or movements. The Religious Press in
Britain begins with a general introduction to the religious press
and an overview of its development from the eighteenth to the
twentieth century. The press is studied in detail in narrative form
under the headings of denominations or religious tendencies.
Chapters focus on general movements (for example, temperance) or
specialties (for example, children's periodicals). There is a brief
general conclusion. Of particular importance is an index of the
religious periodicals mentioned in the work, cross-referenced to
movements and dates. This in-depth study is a valuable resource for
the study of modern British history, religious history, and
Victorian literature.
