Synopsis

As Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Lang led the Church of England through a period of great upheaval and was a pivotal influence in political and religious decision-making. Although Lang has often been seen as an unsuccessful archbishop and resistant to change, Beaken shows that he was, in fact, an effective leader at a difficult time.
