Synopses & Reviews
A thorough, compelling, and often amusing account of how the Anglo-Catholic movement in the Victorian Church of England overcame vehement opposition to establish itself as a legitimate form of Anglicanism.
"Every so often a book appears which, it seems, every black-suited clergyman in the land rushes out to buy such a book I predict, will be John Shelton Reed's account of the cultural politics of Victorian Angol-Catholicism. . . . Glorious Battle is magnificient". -- Andrew Burnham, New Directions
"The seriousness of the points at issue does not stop the details of the disputes from being funny-indeed, often hilarious. Mr. Reed is a story-teller in the great Southern tradition".
