The Spirit of the Oxford Movement: Tractarian Essays
"...the collection is interesting to read.  The author is a great scholar and a superb writer."   John R. Griffin, The Catholic History Review"Owen Chadwick's essay, 'The Mind of the Oxford Movement,' published in 1960 as the introduction to a collection of sources under that title, became a minor classic of Victorian religious history.  There has been a demand for the essay to be reprinted independently, disencumbered of appendages no longer useful.  The Spirit of the Oxford Movement meets that demand by combining it with the republication of a number of other essays, lectures, and reviews written between 1954 and 1987 and now not easily accessible.  These essays have been somewhat revised and the volume given a title also somewhat revised but in fact more appropriate."   Victorian Studies"...few would doubt the value of this collection....serves to demonstrate Chadwick's mastery of a range of disciplines.  For this book opens new avenues into an understanding of the minds behind the Oxford Movement."   William T. Gibson, Albion"The range of subjects in the tantalizing and suggestive collection provides material of interest to specialists and beginners alike."   Dale A. Johnson, Religious Studies Review
