The Education of the Anglican Clergy, 1780-1839 by Sara Slinn
This study of recruitment to the ministry of the Church of England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries overturns many long-standing assumptions about the education and backgrounds of the clergy in late HanoverianEngland and Wales.
An enjoyable and satisfying accountSlinn's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the workings of the Hanoverian Church of England. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
Provide[s] much interesting and invaluable information on how those who sought a career in the church prepared themselves for ordination, and it also throws light on the social mores of the clerical profession. * FACHRS NEWSLETTER *
A detailed, analytical and scholarly work that is successful in identifying fresh sources to bring new insight to an important era in the life of the Anglican Church. * HISTORY OF EDUCATION *
A valuable corrective to received opinion. * JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY, LITERATURE AND CULTURE *
Both academically rigorous but also surprisingly readable for a scholarly prosopographical study. Although it is a valuable work of Church history, it deserves to be read by any scholar interested in the social history of Britain in the late Hanoverian period, and indeed by anyone interested in the history of the Church of England more broadly. * READING RELIGION *
Demonstrates that Church of England clergy were socially, culturally, and educationally a more diverse group than has been previously recognised. * CHURCH TIMES *
Slinn's work is methodologically robust and she demonstrates a caution in her judgments. Her research across a very wide range of archival sources is exemplary. . . . Slinn's is a useful study that will inform discussion on clerical educational standards in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. It will also contribute to the study of clerical career patterns and the wider issues of the relations between parsons and parishioners. -- William Gibson * Journal of British Studies *
