Bishop Wilberforce is a book written by G.W. Daniell that provides a comprehensive account of the life and achievements of Samuel Wilberforce, who was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the 19th century. The book chronicles Wilberforce's early life and education, his rise to prominence within the church, and his efforts to promote the principles of the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive traditional Anglican practices. The author also delves into Wilberforce's role in the debates surrounding the theory of evolution, particularly his famous debate with Charles Darwin at the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1860. The book explores the controversy that arose from Wilberforce's opposition to Darwin's theory and the impact it had on both men's reputations. Throughout the book, Daniell provides a detailed analysis of Wilberforce's character and personality, drawing on letters and other primary sources to paint a vivid portrait of this influential figure. The book also examines Wilberforce's relationships with other notable figures of the time, including John Henry Newman and William Gladstone. Overall, Bishop Wilberforce is a fascinating and engaging biography that offers valuable insights into the life and work of one of the most important figures in the history of the Church of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
