Church
History
Alien
Son: The life and times of Cheok Hong Cheong, (Zhang Zhuoxiong) 1851-1928,
by Ian Welch (2003). This dissertation presented to Australian National
University examines the life and thought of a prominent Chinese-Australian
Anglican. Welch's research draws on 'the archives of the
various Christian missions to the Chinese in Australia in the 19th and
early 20th centuries' and Cheok Hong Cheong's own substantial letterbooks
to describe 'the complex relationships of Chinese emigrants with
the often unsympathetic majority of Australians.'
The
Inheritance of Evil; or, the Consequences of Marrying a Deceased
Wife's Sister,
by Felicia Skene (1849). This Tractarian novel addresses one
of the more vexing ecclesiastical controversies of the nineteenth century;
we reflected
on it in 2003. Skene (1821-1899) was a prominent Victorian
prison reformer, novelist, devotional writer and a disciple of E.B.
Pusey.
The
Little Lives of the Saints, by Percy Dearmer (1904). Dearmer wrote
this series of pre-reformation English saints' lives for children, each
of which is accompanied by at least one engraved illustration.
