  Church of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England and acts as the mother and senior branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion as well as a founding member of the Porvoo Communion.
The Church of England traces its formal corporate history from the 597 Augustinian mission, stresses its continuity and identity with the primitive universal Western church, and notes the consolidation of its particular independent and national character in the post-Reformation events of Tudor England.
England remained a Roman Catholic country for nearly a thousand years, but then the church separated itself from Rome in 1534 during the reign of King Henry VIII, though it briefly rejoined Rome during the reign of Queen Mary I in 1555.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: England (Since the Reformation)
This statute severed England from the unity of Christendom and transferred the jurisdiction of the supreme pontiff to "the Imperial Crown" of that realm.
Moreover, stricter conceptions of their duty in respect of heretical worship were gaining ground among English Catholics, partly on account of the decision of a congregation appointed by the Council of Trent, that attendance at it was "grievously sinful", inasmuch as it was "the offspring of schism, the badge of hatred of the Church".
The establishment of the society was sanctioned by the archbishops and bishops of England and by the vicars Apostolic of Scotland (the hierarchy in that country was not restored until 1878), and was emphatically approved by Pius IX.

 BookPage Fiction Review: England, England
Whether the past belongs to the lifetime of a single individual or to the historical annals of Barnes's native England, it is a slippery proposition.
England, England's other themes relate to the nature of nationhood, the excesses of a free-market economy, the fraudulence of the tourism industry, the search for love, and the possibility of personal salvation.
The island -- with its replicas of Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, and Buckingham Palace -- in time becomes more "English" than the mainland; it is therefore christened "England, England." The old country, robbed of its vital tourist revenue and its standing in the European Union, gradually regresses into a near-feudal state.

The real highlight of the afternoon for England fans was not their team's performance but the fact that Sweden had knocked out fierce rivals Argentina in the other group game.

 England, England - Julian Barnes
England is become -- not just in Barnes's world but in reality -- a country that is brand-name and basically lives off of tourism (yes, yes, there is some industry somewhere in the country, and there is the City, but it is tourism that props ye olde country up and keeps it going).
England has, naturally, already been reduced to theme park status, but it is a spread out, hard to navigate theme park, with too many irrelevancies and too much distance between sights.
England is also an ideal subject -- always insular, Empire lost, even now at a distance from its European Union neighbors (as Barnes explored, less successfully, in his collection, Cross Channel).

England, England picks up the theme of a pieced together history in the novel's opening metaphor (and the cover illustration) of a child's puzzle of England.
The child is Martha Cochrane, and her story frames the novel, providing Barnes a chance to foreshadow the Project's scope and establish metaphors and themes, all to be commented on from Martha's more removed perspective at the end of the novel.
England, England is pure, distilled Barnes writing with confidence and power, exceeding all hopes or expectations.

England, as the mighty William and many others have observed, is an island.
It puts the reader into a future in which England is falling apart but simultaneously a replica England (replete with Beefeaters, Robin Hood and Dr. Johnson) on the Isle of Wight becomes a huge commercial success, overtaking the original.
England is in decline and rather than deal with reality, Sir Jack Pitman (who appears to me to be based on Robert Maxwell) decides to take over the Isle of Wight and create a Disney style England as an independent state.

He portrays England as a Disneyland, with the prince (guess which one!) as one of the buffoon Mickey Mouse characters.

Imagine an England where all the pubs are quaint, where the Windsors behave themselves (mostly), where the cliffs of Dover are actually white, and where Robin Hood and his merry men really are merry.

Julian Barnes delights us with a novel that is at once a philosophical inquiry, a burst of mischief, and a moving elegy about authenticity and nationality.
