| Description: |
Illustrated with contemporary 'Punch' engravings, a reconstruction of the anti-Catholic feeling brought to a head in Britain in 1851 by the newly-appointed Archbishop of Westminster's aggressive promotion of his faith. |
| Synopsis: |
An ingenious reconstruction of an episode in English social and religious history, based in the mid-Victorian era at the time of the Great Exhibition. A medley of figures, the good and the great, flit across the stage. These, and the ambience of the period are authentically captured in an entertaining narrative, spiced with a selection of satirical engravings from Punch. The author states that none of the characters who play a part in this historical narrative is imaginary, but readers may find some historical facts with "a bit of adjustment in the order of events". |
