‘This splendid collection provides abundant evidence to support
Clyde Binfield’s
dictum that the nineteenth century was ‘hagiology’s high
noon’.’
Robin Gill, Theology February 2017
‘Making and Remaking Saints in Nineteenth-Century Britain will most
certainly be a success for readers interested in the ways in which
religious thought shaped and was shaped by the intellectual
currents of the period.’
Devon Fisher, Lenoir-Rhyne University, Journal of British
Studies
‘The editor is to be congratulated for having brought together such
a selection of scholars, and for having presented a major
contribution to the understanding of the religious and historical
tensions of the period.’
Serenhedd James, St Stephen’s House, Oxford, British Catholic
History
‘This book does an excellent job of exploring the ways in which
hagiography was rewritten and ecclesiastical history was contested.
It does very valuable work in drawing attention to the interaction
of Protestant and Catholic traditions and even occasionally gets
into some daring and interesting territory in the course of
discussions of the use of saints by freethinkers, atheists and
spiritualists.’
Dominic Janes, Keele University , Journal of Ecclesiastical
History
