| Summary: | "As Van Diemen's Land's first Christian church, closely tied to the government of a vice-ridden penal colony, St David's hosted for several decades a large, influential and at times quarrelsome congregation. Following its elevation to cathedral status, St David's would become a focus of controversies - especially but not exclusively between Evangelicals and Tractarians... 'God and the City' tracks the changing fortunes of St David's clergy and congregation across nearly two centuries, including their interactions with the Hobart community and, for much of the period, their identification with Tasmania's social and political 'establishment' "--Jacket. This book traces the long and sometimes subtle process of localising monarchy in the vice-regal office from the mid-twentieth century onwards, and compares the powers and functions of the Queen's surrogates in Australia, Canada and New Zealand with each other and with those of the monarch herself, including their recourse to the so-called "reserve powers." |
