Description
In The High Church Revival in the Church of England, new insights are opened up into one of the most significant movements of devotional and liturgical revival in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Attending closely to the social history of the movement, as well as to its continental connections and its theological complexity, this research re-evaluates its historiographical legacy in the light of recent research and controversy.
Traditional interpretations of High Churchmanship have presented it either as a heroic rediscovery of the real essence of Anglicanism, or as an eccentric distortion of it. This volume asserts instead its theological creativity and its popular roots as a permanent enrichment of the Anglican tradition, whilst also analysing and describing the nature and limits of its growth.

Reviews / Votes
"In this second volume of the Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History series, Jeremy Morris is magisterial in his command of the voluminous literature on High Church Anglicanism and shares that bibliographical knowledge throughout", Edward W. Hanson, in: Anglican & Episcopal History, Volume 87.4 (2018)."This volume of essays is a welcome contribution to Newman Studies and to the study of modern British religious history generally. Even while seeking to bring greater nuance and sophistication to our understanding of High Church Anglicanism, it remains admirably clear in both tone and approach." - Robert Tobin, Church of St Mary & St John the Divine, Balham, London, in: The Newman Studies Journal Volume 15.1 (2018).
"We must be grateful that in these essays Morris has given us food for thought, with the promise of more to come." - Perry Butler, University of Kent, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History Volume 69.2 (2018).
"Jeremy Morris, in this intriguing and stimulating collection of essays [is] an astute analyst of how themes and practices characteristic of Anglo-Catholicism - Ritualism, monastic revival, a renewed sense of sacral ecclesiology - are closely paralleled in the work of such figures as Lacordaire and Dom Gueranger in the French Church. (...) These essays are a significant contribution (...)." Canon Robin Ward, Principal of St Stephen's House, Oxford, in: Church Times, 23 March 2018.
"(...) this [is a] fascinating, finely written and well-structured thematic treatment of the High Church Revival in the Church of England in the nineteenth century and beyond.(...) The result of Morris's exploration of these themes is an original and thoughtprovoking
contribution to a subject that has been well trodden in recent years. (...) This study is a magisterial historical
overview and that is where its strength lies." - Peter Nockles, University of Manchester, in: Ecclesiology Volume 14.2 (2018).
"Dans les etudes ici rassemblees, il passe en revue ses points caracteristiques: la predication et la liturgie, l'ecclesiologie (notamment l'insistance sur la succession apostolique, que Morris trouve << exageree >>), ou encore la devotion mariale." - In: Istina Volume LXIII, Issue 1 (2018).
