Drawn from the Colenso manuscripts held in the Campbell Library, Durban, these letters offer an intimate perspective on life in colonial Natal and Victorian England during a period marked by ecclesiastical conflict, social ostracism, and political upheaval. Wyn Rees—Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Natal—arranges the correspondence with clarity and sensitivity, providing an introductory essay and contextual notes that illuminate the personal, religious, and cultural pressures surrounding the Colenso family after the Bishop's excommunication and public disputes with the Anglican establishment.\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   Beyond their biographical interest, the letters document key debates of the age, including church reform, race relations, scientific challenges to orthodoxy, and the shifting political landscape of British colonialism. Rees situates the Colenso voices alongside intellectual figures such as Lyell, Darwin, and Huxley, reflecting the turbulence within the Anglican Communion and the broader empire. Presented in its original 1958 first edition by Shuter and Shooter, this volume will appeal to collectors of African colonial history, scholars of Victorian religious controversy, and readers interested in the personal dimensions behind major historical conflicts.\"\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cfont rwr=\"1\" style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n        \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n         Light wear and chipping to dustjacket as shown.
