A masterly, vivid and original sketch, not just of the history but of the culture (or cultures) of the Church of England across nearly five centuries. It will win the respect and gratitude of specialists, while being compelling reading for a much wider public concerned to understand the collective imagination and memory of England -- Rowan Williams, poet and former Archbishop of Canterbury Dazzling ...
