The book centres on the most significant influence in the development of Betjeman's poetic imagination and that element of his life that he took most seriously: the Church of England. Elegantly and perceptively written, John Betjeman and the Anglican Imagination leads readers through the rollicking and humorous world of Betjeman's writings to gain a clear, grand picture of the turbulent faith behind one of Britain's most popular recent poets.
Kevin J Gardner is a Professor of English at Baylor University. A Betjeman scholar, he is the editor of Faith and doubt of John Betjeman: An anthology of his religious verse (Continuum, 2005).
