Bacon

by R. W. Church

The dean's chief published works are a Life of St Anselm (1870), lives of Spenser (1879) and Bacon (1884) in Macmillan's "Men of Letters" series, an Essay (1878), The Oxford Movement (1891), and many other volumes of essays and sermons. His an Essay included an English version of Dante's De monarchia, translated by his son Frederick. A collection of Church's journalistic articles was published in 1897 as Occasional Papers. His style is lucid but austere. He stated that he had never studied style as such, but had acquired it by the exercise of translation from classical languages, and that he took care in his choice of verbs rather than in his use of adjectives.
