Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Revd John Mason Neale (1818–66) is best known today for his hymns and carols. In Sussex his wardenship of Sackville College, East Grinstead, and his foundation there of the Sisterhood of Saint Margaret have not been forgotten. In his time, however, he was also known, nationally and beyond, for his involvement, practically and in his writings, in almost every field of ecclesiastical life and learning. His interest in Sussex was only occasionally the subject of his published work, but evidence for it and for his identification with the county frequently shows through in passing references across the whole range of his printed work, in his letters and in some surviving documents. In many instances he was directing attention to subjects to which little regard had been given before: and what he accomplished in that respect has been disregarded on account of the scope and scale of his other achievements. This article is not an account or assessment of his life and work in Sussex but a presentation and discussion of what he saw, heard and appreciated in the county in his writings. Though Neale is now best known as a versifier of variable literary merit, direct quotations will illustrate his mastery of English prose. My aim throughout is to show that he still deserves recognition by historians and lovers of Sussex, worthy to stand with the rather later and more systematic writers celebrated in such recent work of the late Peter Brandon as his study of ‘John Halsham’ in these Collections. | ||||
