Biography
Bethany Kilcrease is an Associate Professor of History at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She has written and spoken on late-Victorian Anglicanism and parliamentary politics, Protestant responses to the Boer war, anti-Catholicism in popular literature, and the role of Victorian Catholic apologists in popularizing science.
"Kilcrease’s monograph is a welcome and timely addition to the growing literature reasserting the central place of religion in late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century British political discourse. (...) Kilcrease has done a tremendous service in putting the spotlight once more on a neglected episode—and certainly a crisis of sorts—in British political and religious history." - Jeremy Morris, Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge
