Apologia Pro Vita Sua by John Henry Newman

Apologia Pro Vita Sua by John Henry Newman

Of the spiritual odysseys which dominate the literature of nineteenth-century England, Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest and yet one of the most difficult. Newman wrote the Apologia in 1864, as a reply to Charles Kingsley's attack on his veracity and that of his fellow Roman Catholic clergy; the following year he revised it extensively and thereafter amended new impressions almost until his death in 1890. This fine edition, long unavailable, has been reissued for the centenary; it includes all the variants resulting from Newman's revisions, in both the printed texts and the surviving manuscripts.

`Every library should have this edition' Choice
`Provides almost everything needed by anyone wishing to grapple with the "facts and problems" which bear on the genesis of the Apologia.. Svaglic's introduction gives evidence of a sensitive understanding of Newman's spiritual difficulties ... has rendered an enormous service to all students of nineteenth-century literature ... There must be few works of comparable size which can be so rarely faulted as this superb edition.' Modern Language Review
`Dr Svaglic and the Clarendon Press have put all students of Newman in their debt.' Religious Studies
