Summary:[...]begins the narrative of the final chapter, "Lengthening Shadows," in which the author typically draws upon and evokes the variety of life in and about the Churchyard-in the broad and hugely capacious orders of literary, ecclesiastical, mercantilist, and political action. There is little new in this book but very much that is familiar, its achievement resting mainly on the skillful selection and arrangement of incidents and anecdotes across a very long period, divided naturally between the Old St Paul's and the New-the Great Fire of 1666 marking the change. T. Kirby (with P.G. Stanwood and John King), a unique collection of significant sermon texts-in the brief bibliography, this textual edition appears falsely among secondary sources.
