Abstract

Although John Keble spent most of his adult life as a country clergyman, he wielded a powerful influence upon Victorian religion, society, and culture. He was one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, which urged the reestablishment of ancient traditions in belief and practice within the Anglican Communion, and he was the author of The Christian Year . This book of poems, linked to the readings for Sundays and feast days in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, was a Victorian bestseller; it shaped the devotional life of believing Christians and influenced the moral stance of those who experienced doubt.
