The Evangelical and Oxford Movements by Elisabeth Jay

The Evangelical and Oxford Movements by Elisabeth Jay

This book is devoted to the writings of the Evangelical and Oxford movements, whose leading members were key figures in the religious debate that so preoccupied early Victorian society. The Evangelical writers included here - Charles Simeon, Francis Close, William Goode and Edward Miall - enjoyed wide influence in their own day but their writings are now either forgotten or largely inaccessible. The writers in the Oxford Movement represented here - Keble, Williams, Newman and Pusey - are better known, though only Newman's prose has received much attention. By concentrating upon the period 1825 to 1850 Dr Jay is able to show the complex social, educational, and political influences on the religious debate and to trace the dynamics of the relationship between the two movements. This book will prove to be an indispensable tool for all serious students of nineteenth-century literature, history and theology.

Elisabeth Jay was born in London and attended Talbot Heath School in Bournemouth and St. Paul's School in London. Oxford's Anne's College. She has primarily lived and worked in Oxford, with brief visits to the United States and France for research and/or teaching. Her scholarly editions of Victorian works in a variety of genres have followed two broad paths, which occasionally intersected: work on a number of Victorian women writers and the cross-disciplinary study of nineteenth-century literature and theology, as well as scholarly editions of Victorian works in a variety of genres. She has been Professor Emerita at Oxford Brookes University since September 2011.
