Bishop Burgess and His World
English author and philosopher Bishop Thomas Burgess (1756-1837) spent his early career advocating for the emancipation of slaves and evangelizing among the poor. In 1803 he was appointed Bishop of St. David's, where he remained for the next twenty years. This work gathers together essays that use Bishop Burgess's life as a starting point to uncover the links between the academic, religious and social cultures of Britain, Europe and North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Bishop Burgess was an English author and philosopher who became Bishop of St David's, and liberally endowed the University at Lampeter.
