{"product_id":"augustus-short-michael-whiting-9781925261691","title":"Augustus Short: The early years of a modern educator 1802-1847","description":"\u003cp\u003eAugustus Short arrived in Adelaide in late 1847 as the first Anglican Bishop of Adelaide; he was forty-five years old, married to Millicent, and they had five children. He was to remain in office for thirty-four years and departed for retirement to England in his eightieth year, much lauded as a distinguished colonist.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This volume (a companion to \u003cem\u003eAugustus Short and the Founding of the University of Adelaide\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 2014) explores Short's life before arriving in South Australia -- his education at Westminster School and at Christ Church, Oxford. An outstanding scholar, Short was ordained a priest of the Church of England in 1827, and taught at Christ Church before serving eleven years in a rural parish in Northamptonshire. Many of the courageous and innovative ideas Short practised as Bishop of Adelaide had their origins in his education, and were influenced by those he studied with -- Bishop Thomas Vowler Short, Bishop Charles Lloyd, Edward Bouverie Pusey and John Henry Newman, among others. Short's first forty-five years were dominated by Christ Church, and this is equally a story of that enduring community of learning and worship as it shaped Short's beliefs and choices in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Whiting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925261697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925261691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Adelaide Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Michael Whiting","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437145305343,"sku":"9781925261691","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48ebedb1-f7c2-41ed-ab09-489720bc8112.jpg?v=1777160172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/augustus-short-michael-whiting-9781925261691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
