The two Anglican churches in Rome by the distinguished nineteenth-century English architect George Edmund Street — St Paul's Within-the-Walls (1872–6), Via Nazionale, and All Saints’ (1880–7), Via del Babuino — are notable examples of High Victorian design. Yet little scholarly attention has been afforded either church, especially All Saints’. This article considers both these buildings not so much as works of architecture but as markers of cultural intent in an environment (and age) fraught with political and religious tension and conflict. It seeks to understand them in the difficult and often fluid context of Risorgimento Italy out of which they emerged, including the city of Rome immediately following its capture by Italian national forces on 20 September 1870. The aim is to establish an interpretation of the two buildings that pays due attention to their political and religious agency. In so doing this article considers closely how architecture was understood as a mediating force in the struggle over politics and identity in the late nineteenth century. In taking a fresh look at the extant archival documentation, alternative possibilities are offered (and revealed) as to how we might further decode the significance of these beguiling if still largely misunderstood works of architecture.

两个教堂的故事：19 世纪晚期罗马的“新教”建筑和宗教政治

著名的 19 世纪英国建筑师乔治·埃德蒙街 (George Edmund Street) 在罗马的两座英国国教教堂——圣保罗的围墙内 (1872-6)、Via Nazionale 和诸圣堂 (1880-7)、Via del Babuino——都引人注目高维多利亚时代设计的例子。然而，无论是哪一个教会，尤其是诸圣堂，都很少受到学术关注。本文认为这两座建筑与其说是建筑作品，不如说是在充满政治和宗教紧张和冲突的环境（和时代）中文化意图的标志。它试图在他们出现的意大利复兴运动的艰难且经常变化的背景下理解他们，包括在 1870 年 9 月 20 日被意大利国家军队占领后立即出现的罗马市。目的是建立对这两座建筑的解释，并适当关注它们的政治和宗教机构。在这样做的过程中，本文仔细考虑了建筑是如何被理解为 19 世纪后期政治和身份斗争的中介力量的。在重新审视现存的档案文件时，提供了（并揭示了）替代的可能性，即我们如何进一步解码这些令人着迷的意义，如果仍然在很大程度上被误解的建筑作品。
