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.
