Dean Church, who was at Oxford through the crisis, tells the story of the movement that tried to recall the Church of England to its Catholic heritage. He sketches the church of the Reform days, Keble’s sermon, Newman and his friends Hurrell Froude, Isaac Williams and Charles Marriott, the Tracts for the Times, and the gathering storm that ended with Newman’s conversion.
Long regarded as the classic account of the movement, written with fairness by one who knew its leaders. Download the free EPUB.
