Overview

The genius of John Henry Newman is now generally regarded, after all the misunderstandings of his lifetime and the controversies that followed his death in 1890. But the full range and scope of his achievement - literary, historical, educational, philosophical and theological - have still to be more fully appreciated. In this interdisciplinary volume of centenary essays, a number of Newman scholars are joined by specialists of distinction in other fields in a reappraisal of Newman's significance after 100 years. No single collection of essays could encompass the entire range of Newman's ""imperial intellect"", but this collection aims to concentrate on breaking new ground in hitherto more or less unexplored areas of his writings, and provides authoritative reassessments of some central aspects of his thought.
