The Parting of Friends
The history of 19th-century England abounds with great religious figures--Henry Manning, Samuel, Robert, and Henry Wilberforce, and John Henry Newman--and great religious turmoil. Here Newsome recounts the story of the Wilberforces and Manning, from its early hopes to its tragic, interpersonal dissolution. Foreword by Robert Runcie, former Archbishop of Canterbury. Illustrations.
Domestic Biography
Christopher Tolley has written a fascinating account of the influence of evangelicalism upon eminent Victorians, from the members of the Clapham sect down to the more secular Bloomsbury group. Recording family life (and deaths) was an important ritual in Victorian households, and out of this habit grew a new literary genre, the domestic biography, celebrating individual achievement, family piety, and domestic virtue. Using a wide range of hitherto unpublished material from family archives, Dr Tolley analyses the biographical traditions exemplified by the public and private utterances of different generations of four leading Victorian families: Macaulay, Stephen, Wilberforce, and Thornton. This book is a perceptive commentary on the role of the domestic biography as a testament to the cultural legacy of the Victorian intelligentsia, and the creation of `family values'.
