Sommario/riassunto

"This book analyses [Hunt's] career in London and St Ives (Cambs.) through the lens of his autobiographical narrative, Clergymen Made Scarce (1867) ... A Victorian Curate: A Study of the Life and Career of the Rev. Dr John Hunt is an absorbing personal account of the corruption and turmoil in the Church of England at this time. It will appeal to anyone interested in this history, the relationship between science and religion in the nineteenth century, or the role of the curate in Victorian England."--
