Lecture by Professor Jon Stobart on "Morality & Materiality. Consumption and the Parish Clergy of
Georgian England", 30 January, 10.15 at Humanistiska teatern.
This lecture opens the door of the English parsonage and examines the lifestyle and consumption of its occupants in the light of contemporary criticisms of a clergy seen as avaricious and worldly. It assesses how far the clergy’s motivations and choices were shaped by secular, religious and moral considerations.
