The Oxford "conspiracy" of which Mr. O'Connell writes is, of course, the Oxford, or Tractarian, Movement of nineteenth-century England which aimed at rejuvenating the Church of England by proving, first, that the latter was the heir of primitive Christianity, and, second, that the doctrines of the English Church were identical with those of pre-Tridentine Christianity. The story of the Movement is the story of the "conspirators" who were its originators and propagators, and the author wisely records the waxing and waning of the Oxford Movement by making dexterous use of the personalities of the principals. And what personalities they were - Newman, Wilberforce, Pusey, Keble, and a host of subluminaries who debated, argued, wrote, quarreled, feuded and fought like paladins, and occasionally found themselves, willy-nilly, on the road to Rome. Mr. O'Connell, despite his careful scholarship and attention to detail, makes his way through the theological, political and psychological jungle of Tractarianism with a sure foot and a light hand, combining astute critical judgment with a feeling for the irony and humor of history. On the whole, this is the first satisfactory, and the first readable, work available on the Movement from its splendid birth to its unnoted death. Indispensable for religious libraries, excellent for college-level libraries. (Kirkus Reviews)
A narrative history of Oxford Movement, whereby a group of Anglican intellectuals, notably Newman, Pusey, Keble and Froude, attempted to restore to the Victorian Church of England the character of "primitive Christianity". Many of the inherent principles, such as Apostolic Succession, were seen to be exemplified by the Catholic Church. Newman later joined the Church of Rome, and the Anglo-Catholic wing of Anglicanism has its origins in this movement.
