The Idea of the Clerisy in the Nineteenth Century

The Idea of the Clerisy in the Nineteenth Century This book is about the development in nineteenth-century England of the idea of a secular intellectual elite - the clerisy. These intellectuals wanted to be in touch with transcendent values and raise the standard of intellectual life. Dr Knights examines five major writers that have important similarities, arising out of shared feelings on the subject of intellectual values.
