Synopsis

Augustus Short arrived in Adelaide in 1847 as the first Anglican Bishop of Adelaide. He remained in office for thirty-four years and retired in England in his eightieth year, much lauded as a distinguished colonist. This companion volume to Augustus Short and the Founding of the University of Adelaide (published in 2014) explores Short’s life before arriving in South Australia — his education at Westminster School and at Christ Church, Oxford. Ordained a priest of the Church of England in 1827, he taught at Christ Church before serving eleven years in a rural parish in Northamptonshire. His courageous and innovative ideas were influenced by those he studied with, such as Edward Bouverie Pusey and John Henry Newman, while his beliefs and choices were shaped by that enduring community of learning and worship, Christ Church.
