| Summary | "Clergymen of the Church of England" by Anthony Trollope is a collection of essays written in the mid-19th century. The work explores the various roles and responsibilities of clergymen within the Church of England, highlighting the changes in their societal position and duties over time. Trollope examines figures such as the archbishop, bishops, and parish clergymen, reflecting on how their identities and functions have evolved in response to broader societal shifts. The opening of the book provides a detailed examination of the modern English archbishop, contrasting their historical status with the more humble role they occupy in the present. Trollope articulates how formerly grand archbishops, once considered princes of the realm, have lost much of their status and influence, as temporal power wanes and societal attitudes shift towards a more egalitarian view. Through a combination of historical context and personal anecdote, he sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the clergy's contemporary identity and their evolving duties within the framework of British society.
