Fisher of Lambeth a great initiator of the Anglican church
A critical portrait of Lord Fisher by Canon Purcell traces his rise from Marlborough and Repton headmaster to Archbishop of Canterbury. The review notes first hand sources, an expansive public role, and a controversial shift toward revealing biographical details while praising his outreach to Rome, Africa, Australia, and North America. The piece questions timing and scope of posthumous biographical norms.
