John, colonial Anglicanism is central to my work on historical memory and imperial identity in late-colonial America and so I too am looking forward to James Bell's new book. I think he's done some of the best work on colonial Anglicanism since Woolverton. Unfortunately because he publishes with Palgrave, who charge ridiculous prices ($100 and $150) for his monographs, his books don't seem to get the exposure they deserve. It's like they're pricing him out of the conversation, in a sense.
Absolutely, Michael. I think I had his first book on ILL forever.

has been a useful resource. I would think his new book is an outgrowth of that 2008 essay.
