John Richard Orens details Headlam's repeated conflicts with the establishment figures of his faith over his defense of music hall ballet performers' right to reveal their legs, his role in the early years of the Fabian Society, his anti-puritanism, and his passionate socialism. Headlam was even instrumental in having Oscar Wilde bailed out of prison following the writer's arrest for "homosexual offenses."With this intellectual biography, Orens places Headlam's life, beliefs, and actions in the context of the period, contributing to the ongoing debate about the proper relationship between Christianity, on the one hand, and society, sexuality, and the arts, on the other. 410 0$aStudies in Angelican History 606 $aAnglicans$zEngland$vBiography$xEarly works to 1800 615 0$aAnglicans$xEarly works to 1800. 676 $a283/.092 676 $aB 700 $aOrens$b John$01803738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969764503321 996 $aStewart Headlam's radical Anglicanism$94351408 997 $aUNINA
