John Henry Newman was one of the most eminent of Victorians and an
intellectual pioneer for an age of doubt and unsettlement. His
teaching transformed the Victorian Church of England, yet many
still want to know more of Newman's personal life. Newman's printed
correspondence runs to 32 volumes, and John Henry Newman: A
Portrait in Letters offers a way through the maze. Roderick Strange
has chosen letters that illustrate not only the well-known aspects
of Newman's personality, but also those in which elements that may
be less familiar are on display. There are letters to family and
friends, and also terse letters laced with anger and sarcasm. The
portrait has not been airbrushed. This selection of letters
presents a rounded picture, one in which readers will meet Newman
as he really was and enjoy the pleasure of his company. As Newman
himself noted, 'the true life of a man is in his letters'.
