4. Essays and Reviews Controversy

  • David Yeandle (author)
Chapter of: A Victorian Curate: A Study of the Life and Career of the Rev. Dr John Hunt (pp. 35–40)

This chapter traces the consequences of Hunt’s refusal to sign a petition condemning the controversial Essays and Reviews. By this time (1860), he had arrived at Edmonton (4), from whence he was dismissed on account of his liberal theology and acceptance of Essays and Reviews. As he had no licence, he had no recourse to the Bishop. Further applications, following another advertisement in the Record, ensue, each of which Hunt details, some of which had bizarre conditions attached.
