Description
The eighteenth-century bishops of the Church of England and its sister communions had immense status and authority in both secular society and the Church.
They fully merit fresh examination in the light of recent scholarship, and in this volume leading experts offer a comprehensive survey and assessment of all things episcopal between the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 and the early nineteenth-century.
These were centuries when the Anglican Church enjoyed exclusive establishment privileges across the British Isles (apart from Scotland).
The essays collected here consider the appointment and promotion of bishops, as well as their duties towards the monarch and in Parliament.
All were expected to display administrative skills, some were scholarly, others were interested in the fine arts, most were married with families.
All of these themes are discussed, and Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the American colonies receive specific examination.
