Description:PRE-ISBNFrom the front-inside dustwrapper:“The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould was, by any standards, a figure of exceptional interest. In a lifetime which spanned almost a century, 1834 – 1934, he wrote – in addition to a number of other pursuits – probably more books than any other man has done. One of the last of the great “Squarsons” or squire-parsons, rector of the remote parish of Lew Trenchard in Devon, he married a mill-girl from Yorkshire and became the father of fifteen children. This notable novelist, historian, Christian propagandist and antiquary was a pioneer in the archaeology of Dartmoor, and the first to collect and record the vanishing folksongs of the West. The man who gave ‘Uncle Tom Cobbley’ to the world was also the author of ‘Onward Christian Soldiers.’ He began writing at the time of the Crimean war, and lived to see the aftermath of the First World War of this century.William Purcell gives a humorously affectionate account of this life of prodigious activity and versatility, lived for the most part in almost total seclusion and obscurity. He analyses the puzzle of Baring-Gould’s lack of advancement in the Church, the popularity in their own day of his books, and the reasons for his subsequent neglect. There emerges from this fascinating biography a picture of a country parson in the great tradition of Herbert and Keble, not admittedly of their genius, but nevertheless one of the strangest, most varied and interesting characters of the Church of England.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
