By Revd Canon Dr Judith Maltby, Professor Alison Shell. This fascinating compendium edited by Judith Maltby and Alison Shell is worth not one but multiple readings. In almost every way they could not be more different from one another and yet, intriguingly, despite the differences, they share the experience of having lived, as Francis Spufford puts it, in 'intimate outsiderhood'.

About this product

Product Information

What do the novelists Charlotte Bronte, Charlotte M. Yonge, Rose Macaulay, Dorothy L. Sayers, Barbara Pym, Iris Murdoch and P.D. James all have in common? These women, and others, were inspired to write fiction through their relationship with the Church of England. This field-defining collection of essays explores Anglicanism through their fiction and their fiction through their Anglicanism. These essays, by a set of distinguished contributors, cover a range of literary genres, from life-writing and whodunnits through social comedy, children's books and supernatural fiction. Spanning writers from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, they testify both to the developments in Anglicanism over the past two centuries and the changing roles of women within the Church of England and wider society.
