Review
`This is a very good biography ... scholars of Victorian and Edwardian religion or politics will find much here that is of use and deep interest.' American Historical Review, Oct. 2000
`Graham Neville has written a well-crafted, traditional study of Hicks and his times that sheds fresh light on the association of church reformers and political liberals.' American Historical Review, Oct. 2000
`Neville does well to put his subject in the broad context of Anglican trends of his day.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol.52/3
`We are in Graham Neville's debt for his labour of love ... Iadical Churchman will be of interest to the historian of the Edwardian and Great War period ... this significant book is to be warmly welcomed.' Stuart Mews, Theology.
`This book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the period of the New Liberalism and the part played by a notable churchman in the spread of its ideals ... This book makes fascinating reading ... Neville provides a valuable picture of church life away from London and Oxford, which tends to 'bulk large' in general studies of English religion. This book also has the merit of being extremely readable. The footnotes are helpful and informative. In all Neville ... makes a significant contribution to a somewhat neglected period of church history.' Modern Believing, October 1999
`Graham Neville has opened a new window on Christianity in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth England. Canon Neville has delineated another strand in Anglican political and social consciousness, linked with Ruskin, and Manchester, closer to Nonconformity and Methodism. Canon Neville has produced both a thought-provoking book about a distinguished reformer and churchman and an excellent survey of the Church of England and Liberal politics and society between 1880 and 1919.' W.M. Jacob, Epworth Review, Jan 2000
`Sharers of Tony Blair's dream of the recreation of the Progressive Alliance of (New) Labour and the inheritors of the mantle of New Liberalism can look for inspiration to this book ... Radical Churchman will be of interest to the historian of the Edwardian and Great War period ... this significant book is to be warmly welcomed.' Stuart Mews, Cheltenham and Gloucester College, 'Theology', Vol 102, no 809 Sept-Oct 99

Book Description
Historians of the Christian Social movement in the Church of England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have paid little attention to its relation to the Liberal Party. But from about 1886 to 1918 there were some socially concerned churchmen who firmly supported the Liberal Party in its new role as an agency of social reform and tried to exercise influence as a group, taking Henry Scott Holland as leader and inspirer. Edward Lee Hicks, who succeeded Edward King as bishop of Lincoln in 1910, was a distinctive churchman associated with this group. He was an outstanding classical scholar who combined a long pastoral experience with active support of movements for temperance reform, improved housing, women's education and enfranchisement, and international peace. This study shows how he developed these social concerns under the influence of such friends as John Ruskin and C. P. Scott, and how he was drawn from his radical liberalism to the support of the incipient Labour Party without becoming a theoretical socialist.
