Vicar
A vicar (; Latin: '' vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand").

The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire, a local representative of the emperor, such as an archduke, could be styled " vicar".

The Vicar Of Bullhampton
''The Vicar of Bullhampton'' is an 1870 novel by Anthony Trollope. It is made up of three intertwining subplots: the courtship of a young woman by two suitors; a feud between the titular broad church vicar and a low church nobleman, abetted by a Primitive Methodism, Methodist minister; and the vicar's attempt to rehabilitate a young woman who has gone astray. Trollope expected his depiction of a fallen woman to be controversial, and unusually for him wrote a preface defending it. But the anticipated controversy never materialised, and contemporary reviewers tended to ignore that subplot, focussing instead on the courtship in the novel. Reviews were generally less than positive; many reviewers and readers who had acquired a taste for Trollope from the 1850s–60s Chronicles of Barsetshire, Barchester novels were unhappy about the darker tone of later novels such as this one. Trollope's fortunes suffered because of the mode of the novel's publication. Owing to mismanagement b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''The Vicar of Bray'' is a comic opera by Edward Solomon with a libretto by Sydney Grundy which opened at the Globe Theatre (Newcastle Street), Globe Theatre, in London, on 22 July 1882, for a run of only 69 performances. The public was not amused at a clergyman's being made the subject of ridicule, and the opera was regarded by some as scandalous. An 1892 revival at the Savoy Theatre was more successful, lasting for 143 performances, after public perceptions had changed.Rollins and Witts, p. 13 The opera is based on the character described in a satirical 18th-century English folk song "The Vicar of Bray (song), The Vicar of Bray", as well as on ''The History of Sandford and Merton'', a series of 18th century moral tales. In the parlour song, the eponymous vicar was the clergyman of the parish of Bray, Berkshire, Bray-on-Thames, Berkshire.

The Vicar Of Bray (song)
"The Vicar of Bray" is an eighteenth century satirical song recounting the career of The Vicar of Bray and his contortions of principle to retain his ecclesiastic office despite the changes in the Established Church through the reigns of several English monarchs. The song makes many specific allusions to English religious and political doctrines and events. Origins and cultural influence The generally known form of the song appears to have been based on an earlier version, "The Religious Turncoat; Or, the Trimming Parson". The melody is taken from the 17th-century folk melody " Country Gardens" which in turn was used in ''The Quaker's Opera'', first printed in London in 1728, a three-act farce based on the story of Jack Sheppard which was performed at Bartholomew Fair. A parody of this parody song, "The American Vicar of Bray", with the same chorus, was published in the 30 June 1779 edition of Rivington's ''Royal Gazette'', mocking the shifting loyalties of some American co ...
