A Conservative At Heart The Political And Social Thought Of John Henry Newman

This ground-breaking study is the first book to examine the political and social thought of Blessed John Henry Newman. With access to a wealth of Newman's published and unpublished writings, it challenges the conventional construction of Newman as a high churchman devoid of a political and social conscience. The book demonstrates that throughout Newman's life, first as a member of the Anglican Church and subsequently as a convert to Roman Catholicism, he retained a keen interest in the political and social issues of Victorian society. The book explores Newman's views towards Irish nationalism, the British constitution, and his idea of Liberal Knowledge and education, his conservative attitude towards history, and the impact of his political and social thought upon today's society.
