All Souls College, Oxford in the Early Eighteenth Century
Piety, Political Imposition, and Legacy of the Glorious Revolution
Series:
Author:
In the first detailed history of All Souls College under the Wardenship of Bernard Gardiner, Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth offers a character driven story that addresses scheming, duplicity, and self-righteousness projected against some of the most important political and religious episodes of the early eighteenth century and the people who animated them. Throughout this book, Wigelsworth illuminates the ways in which All Souls and its warden were caught between competing visions of what England, and consequently Oxford, would look like in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth, PhD (2006) University of Saskatchewan, is Head of History at Red Deer College, Canada. His books include Deism in Enlightenment England (2009) and Selling Science in the Age of Newton (2010). He was also the co-editor of Atheism and Deism Revalued (2015).
