Description

"A churchman of brilliant intellect and an outstanding writer, John Henry Newman was undoubtedly one of the greatest Victorians. Published for the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition on Newman, the book provides a full, highly illustrated survey of Newman and his contemporaries. His early life, the Oxford Movement, the Gothic Revival and his conversion to Catholicism are examined in detail and a full iconography of portraits of Newman is given."--Cover
