‘Revolutionary’ was the response of one of his contemporaries to Frederick Goldsmith, the first Anglican Bishop of Bunbury (1904-17) and the state’s leading Anglo-Catholic, who rode an iron frame tricycle for exercise to combat his asthma. Colin Holden’s study examines city and rural Anglicanism from the gold rush to the end of World War I, changing devotional life and church politics, in the context of British imperial values and growing Australian nationalism, and provides an insight into the paradox of a conservative individual who was a key figure in a movement within Anglicanism that many considered radical and subversive. 240 x 165mm., pp. xii, 412, black & white plates, glossary, notes, bibliography, index.
