Overview

In this monograph, contemporary English scholar Penelope Hunting explores the relationship between Cardinal Newman and George Dudley Ryder. The recovery of two sets of family papers relating to Newman, George Ryder (grandson of the Earl of Harrowby), the Wilberforces, the Sargents, and the Mannings provided the stimulus for Hunting’s original research. While the interrelationship of Newman and Ryder are at the core of this work, Hunting also assesses Ryder’s own very important historical contribution and discusses key issues of the period, including Catholic education, celibacy of the clergy, the Oxford Movement, and Tractarianism.

Reviews

Penelope Hunting's book brings out to a great extent the soul-wringing that went on and, using the private family archives, also presents thoroughly the various (Ryder-Wilberforce) family networks in minute and painstaking detail. Serenhedd James, St Stephen's House,Oxford - Catholic Historical Review, Spring 2016 ...the book contains numerous vignettes offering information on a variety of well known figures-filling up particular aspects of their lives or characters-while bringing to light other personalities who had before remained in obscurity. In so doing, it makes a praiseworthy contribution to the historical knowledge of the Oxford Movement and the Catholic Revival, focused for too long on a few of its main protagonists. Penelope Hunting's study of the Ryder/Clutton family papers and those of the Earl of Harrowby offers us another example of the tantalising riches contained in many private family archives still to be fully explored by historians. - Dr.James Pereiro, Oxford Brookes University
