JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY   Daily preoccupations of the bishop cast light on church and society in and around Lincoln before and during the first worldwar.\u003c\/b\u003eBishop Edward Lee Hicks' diary offers an honest picture of the daily life of a bishop in the period immediately before and during the first world war, a portrait of church and society in a largely rural diocese in the last phase before the radical transformation which the `Great War' hastened. The diary presents a largely church-centred picture; but it is also valuable as a personal view of such matters as Lincolnshire social life including the impact of war on the county, conditions of travel at the beginning of the era of the motor car, characteristics of the clergy, and frequent comment on items of archaeological and antiquarian interest.Canon \u003ci\u003eGRAHAM NEVILLE\u003c\/i\u003ewas Canon andPrebendary of Lincoln Cathedral from 1982-1987.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis private diary offers a fascinating glimpse of the day-to-day life of a bishop in the early decades of the twentieth century...
