Catharine Furze

by Mark Rutherford

"A canting, hypocritical parson, type not uncommon, described over and over again in novels, and thoroughly familiar to theatre-goers." Such, no doubt, will be the summary verdict passed upon Mr. Cardew. The truth is, however, that he did not cant, and was not a hypocrite. One or two observations here may perhaps be pertinent. The accusation of hypocrisy, if we mean lofty assertion, and occasional and even conspicuous moral failure, may be brought against some of the greatest figures in history.

Reviews

[Stephen Gamble · Rating 4 out of 5]

The writing is rather too much driven by ideas rather than characters for me, even if I find the ideas he explores to be engaging, some of the characters even border on caricature. Still, a fascinating insight into life in a provincial mid Victorian town, full of details of how people lived, and a insightful exploration of what it means to be a Christian.
