Liam Temple is Capuchin Fellow in the History of Catholicism at Durham University, UK
Temple has recovered from scattered and diverse archival sources the history of one of 19th and 20th century Britain's most dynamic and influential groups of Catholic men. This is completely new and also completely accessible to those interested - not just in Catholicism - but in the social and political ferment that made the vocational voluntarism of groups like the Capuchins so essential to the shaping of modern British society. * John McCafferty, University College Dublin, Ireland * Previously forgotten in accounts of the period, Temple has unearthed the story of the Capuchins in Britain through extensive research in a wide range of archives. What he has discovered is not only an influential movement within the revival of Catholicism in Britain, but one deeply committed to the social activism that underpinned society more generally. Placing the Capuchins’ activities in a domestic and international context, Temple’s groundbreaking work restores them to the wider story. * James E. Kelly, Durham University, UK *
