HISTORIES OF THE SACRED AND SECULAR 1700-2000 ...

This book is the first full-length treatment of Walter Hussey's work as a patron between 1943
and 1978  first for the Anglican parish church of St Matthew in Northampton  and then at
Chichester Cathedral. He was responsible for the most significant sequence of works of art
commissioned for the British churches in the twentieth century. They included music by Benjamin
Britten  Leonard Bernstein and William Walton  visual art by Henry Moore  Graham Sutherland and
Marc Chagall  and poetry by W. H. Auden. Placing Hussey in theological context and in a period
of rapid cultural change  it explores the making and reception of the commissions  and the
longer-term influence of his work  still felt today. As well as contributing to the religious
and cultural history of Britain  and of Anglo-Catholicism and the cathedrals in particular  the
book will be of interest to all those concerned with the relationship between theology and the
arts  and to historians of music and the visual arts.
