Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historical account of the religious awakening in the Church of England, as well as personal insights into the lives of three central figures in the Oxford Movement - John Keble, Charlotte Yonge, and the author's father George Moberly. The author explores how the doctrines of the Oxford Movement were applied at Winchester College, where Moberly was Headmaster for 31 years and had a significant impact on the religious education of boys there. Situated 4 miles from Winchester College, the village of Otterbourne was the home of John Keble, whose daily interactions with Moberly and regular sermons at the College greatly influenced the tone of life at the school. The author also explores the writings of Charlotte Yonge, who lived nearby and was a prolific writer of moral and religious stories, many of which were popularised through the pages of the Monthly Packet. Her work largely influenced the thinking of the next generation of women writers, including the author herself.
