A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This newly edited version of John Henry Newman's 'Apologia Pro Vita Sua' sheds light on Newman's celebrated account of his passage from the Church of England to the Roman Catholic Church and repositions his narrative within the context of transformative religious journeys of other Victorian intellectuals. Frank Turner is the first historian of Victorian thought, religion, and culture to edit Newman's classic autobiographical narrative. Drawing on extensive research in contemporary printed materials and archives, Turner's powerfully revisionist Introduction reevaluates and challenges the historical adequacy of previous interpretations of Newman's life and of the 'Apologia' itself. He further presents Newman's volume as a response to ultramontane assertions of papal authority in the 1860s. In addition to numerous explanatory textual annotations, the volume includes an Appendix featuring six important Anglican sermons that provide significant insights into Newman's thought during the years recounted in the 'Apologia'.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Frank M. Turner was John Hay Whitney Professor of History and director of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. He was the author of 'John Henry Newman: The Challenge to Evangelical Religion' and editor of Newman's 'The Idea of the University', both published by Yale University Press, as well as other studies in Victorian intellectual history.
