abstract |
This is the first full length examination of a defining moment in the history of the
Church of England in the twentieth century: the Prayer Book controversy of 1927-28.
It argues that conceptions of national religion were influential in the debates surrounding
liturgical revision, showing in particular how ideas of Protestant national identity
clashed with both liberal Anglican and moderate Anglo-Catholic conceptions of Church
and nation. It shows how the Church of England retained a significant position in
national life in the interwar period; however, it also argues that the resilience
of the anti-Catholic mindset amongst many Anglicans and Free Churchmen meant that
the exact nature of the relationship between religion and nation was hotly contested.
This study sets the Prayer Book controversy in the context of early twentieth century
British religious history, providing important insights into the history of Anglicanism,
Nonconformity and ideas of English and British identity during the period. |
