This selection from William Temple's correspondence as Archbishop of Canterbury begins with his move from York to Canterbury in the spring of 1942 and ends with a letter written two days before his death on 26th October 1944. During this period he became one of the most notable archiepiscopates the Church of England had known, and under war conditions, living in makeshift quarters in the bombed Lambeth Palace, Temple gave himself unsparingly to the leadership of the Church, corresponding with Cabinet Ministers and lay people. The editor is the Archbishop's nephew and has had experience of Lambeth Palace, and has been able to draw on family and official sources.150 letters and 5 illustrations. R1. Near Fine/Near Fine.
