Prophet John Wroe: Virgins, Scandals and Visions in Victorian England

Overview

Edward Green is the first person to research Wroe's life and career in depth and to place him in the context of an industrialised society struggling to find values and needing to believe in themselves as the Chosen People. Using the original testimonies of many of those involved in the scandals surrounding Wroe his book is a celebration of a rich, if eccentric, tradition where religion, sex, politics and money struggle for possession of the nation's soul.
