Indeed, but I think the Church of England has always been divided. I used to fondly think that deep down it was just English Orthodoxy with a few low Church and Calvinistic accretions (leaving aside theological liberalism) from the eighteenth century onwards. But, really, the Church of England was always split between those of more Catholic or Orthodox sensibilities and Calvinists and other real Protestants. If only Henry VIII had listened to Bishop Stokely and Tunstall and tried to forge links with the Greek Church.

 ​Looking at the list above, I am again struck at how important to English literature those works are. The KJV, Book of Common Prayer, Book of Homilies, Taylor, and Fuller, for example, should be read by all who wish to acquaint themselves with the finest English prose, and Traherne and Andrewes are well worth reading simply for their value as prose writers as well. 

Although he wasn't specifically a devotional or liturgical writer, Dr. Johnson is another great Anglican writer whose work was often suffused with a deep Anglican spirituality. Even the socialist historian AJP Taylor claimed Dr. Johnson as the greatest Englishman (with Cobbett a close runner up).
