'This book, with its unique approach and distinctive multi-disciplinary appeal, is insightful and thought-provoking. It will attract a broad range of readers and is recommended to all those interested in understanding and reflecting on the past, the present, and the future.' Journal of Contemporary Religion 'This is the kind of book that students should read as they set about those long established courses on theodicy.' Theology '... a fascinating, cross-disciplinary application of the concept of tragedy to Quaker history and the recent history of England... clear and helpful introduction... One remarkable feature of this book is the way it maintains continuity throughout its sections despite multiple authors... the book does offer a compelling and unified vision of how we might use the lens of tragedy to understand more richly various epochs in Quaker and English history. And in so doing, it returns us to considerations of how we ought to live. What more important task could there be?' Friends Journal
