| Summary: | In this well-researched book, the author seeks to show how the figure of the Virgin Mary was central to the theory and practice of gender relations in Victorian England, as she served to define the identities and animosities of Roman Catholics, Anglo-Catholics, and Protestants towards one another. These distinctions had their complexities, especially among Anglican high churchmen. ‘Traditional’ high church Anglicans agreed with the mass of Protestants in repudiating Roman Catholic understandings of Mary, while ‘advanced’ high churchmen increasingly accepted the desirability of Marian devotion with Roman Catholics, while still repudiating Roman Catholicism. |
