In 'All Saints' Day and Other Sermons', readers are presented with a collection of sermons delivered by Charles Kingsley, a man who wore many hats during his lifetime - from a priest of the Church of England, to a professor, social reformer, historian, novelist, and poet. As a Christian socialist, Kingsley's works are of particular interest to those interested in exploring issues of social justice and labor reforms. His efforts to form labor cooperatives may have failed, but they paved the way for later successes. Furthermore, Kingsley's friendship and correspondence with Charles Darwin adds another layer of intrigue to his life and works.
