Venerable Victorian voices

Venerable Victorian Voices explores the birth of parish magazines during the Victorian period with particular emphasis on the Odiham Parish Magazine that was launched in 1892 and remains in print to this day.

Fast Victorian clipper ships, the Australian Gold Rush, the frontier life style, Gloucester Cathedral, All Saints Church and Odiham all feature in the book.

Equally the joys and tragedies that punctuated the lives of priest and parishioner alike are chronicled together with a wealth of period illustrations.

This book is in some ways an adventure story but it is also a well researched academic review of the Victorian parish magazine genre in all its rich glory beautifully presented in a hard back book to treasure.
