The book compiles the extensive personal correspondence of Frances Colenso and Bishop John William Colenso—the controversial Bishop of Natal who famously championed Zulu rights, challenged orthodox Biblical literalism, and heavily clashed with both colonial authorities and the Church of England. These letters expose the raw behind-the-scenes social dynamics, political intrigues, and colonial warfare that defined mid-to-late 19th-century Natal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eAuthor Profile: Wyn Rees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eWyn Rees was a dedicated South African historian and academic who spent years transcribing and contextualizing the private papers of the Colenso family, preserving vital records of early colonial resistance and ecclesiastical history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shuter and Shooter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58146992521519,"sku":"Wyn Rees - Colenso: Letters from Natal","price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/files\/1000603410.jpg?v=1783429851","url":"https:\/\/timeless-collectible-books.com\/products\/wyn-rees-colenso-letters-from-natal","provider":"Timeless Collectible Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
