A radical reassessment of the Oxford Movement and its leaders, Newman, Keble, and Pusey.
'A remarkable study which substantially rewrites an important slice
of Anglican history: that which explains the antecedents, and so
diagnoses the essence, of the Oxford Movement … Everyone concerned
about the identity of Anglicanism should read this book.' Jonathan
Clark, The Spectator
'… definitive and indispensable … this book will be a standard text
for any serious student of the subject.' James Garrard,
Theology
'A fine work of scholarship that deserves to stand as an authority
for students of ecclesiastical history for years to come.' David
Newsome, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'… a … mature, and nuanced work … based upon an impressive range of
new (or little known) manuscripts and printed sources, meticulously
researched … What we are given here is what was, previously, so
often lacking in study of the Oxford Movement: an adequate
political and religious context in which to evaluate the remarkable
transformation of the high church tradition into the 1830s and 40s
… This important book has already made its mark.' Perry Butler,
Heythrop Journal
