Religion, Society and Politics

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines Mary Ward's distinctive insight into late-Victorian and Edwardian society as a famous writer and reformer, who was inspired by the philosopher and British idealist, Thomas Hill Green. As a talented woman who had studied among Oxford University intellectuals in the 1870s, and the granddaughter of Dr Arnold of Rugby, Mrs Humphry Ward (as she was best known) was in a unique position to participate in the debates, issues and events that shaped her generation; religious doubt and Christianity, educational reforms, socialism, women's suffrage and the First World War. Helen Loader examines a range of biographical sources, alongside Mary Ward's writings and social reform activities, to demonstrate how she expressed and engaged with Greenian idealism, both in theory and practice, and made a significant contribution to British Society.

Rezensionen

"This book's approach is undoubtedly original and eminently worth reading as both a way into the writing (and later life) of a remarkable woman and also a moving expression of Greenian idealism, its original nineteenth-century reception and its outcomes, as well as a coherent analysis of Ward with honesty and post-feminist critical balance for the contemporary reader." (Gillian Boughton, Modern Believing, Vol. 64 (4), 2023)
