About this title

Review

'Professor Tenbus shows both a fine mastery of detail and a comprehensive knowledge of nineteenth-century English Roman Catholicism. This is an impressive book in its sound judgments and its historical sweep over the broad cultural landscape of Victorian England.' Church History 'makes a significant contribution to Catholic intellectual history. It well deserves a place on the reading list in graduate schools of history, education, and religious education on both sides of the pond.' The Catholic Historical Review 'Thanks to Eric G Tenbus's careful research...we now have a serious, scholarly account of this important chapter in the history of Catholic education and politics.' Victorian Studies 'Readers will find much to engage them in this thorough study of the interest groups, key issues and points of high drama in the narrative of Catholic education history in Victorian Britain.' H-WRBI 'a detailed account' Recusant History 'a much-needed and well-executed comprehensive study of Roman Catholic primary education' Journal of British Studies 'this is an interesting story, engagingly written and providing an easily accessible narrative on the educational politics of the Roman Catholic Church in the period.' English Historical Review
