Everything that in Geoffrey Rowell's words made Anglo-Catholicism a 'Vision Glorious' in the religious and cultural history of England. </p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(36 32 33 1)>Much of the material explored will be well known to students of the period but to many more it will prove a fascinating discovery while its presentation here by a Roman Catholic author may give it a certain piquancy as well as fresh insight and a different perspective.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(36 32 33 1)>This book is unapologetically a eulogy-and also something of an elegy since much of the corporate life recalled within these pages is no more.</span></p>
