This is the first of Newman's Anglican works to be presented in a
fully annotated edition. Newman published the first two editions in
1836 and 1837 at the height of his career within the Oxford
Movement. The third edition was published in 1877, when Newman had
been a Roman Catholic for thiry-two years. It represents a dialogue
between the Evangelical Anglican, Anglo-Catholic, and Roman
Catholic Newman. As such it is a critical work in understanding
Newman's development, as well as the impact of his thought on the
larger Christian Church in his century and even in this one as it
comes to a close. The text of this edition is based on the edition
of 1889 (with obvious errors and misprints silently corrected), the
edition to be seen through the press by Newman before his death in
1890; its pagination is preserved in the margin alongside the
present text to facilitate reference to the uniform edition of the
collected works. The text is supplemented by an introduction and
textual appendix which lists all the variant readings between the
editions of 1836, 1837, 1877 and the final edition.
Of the spiritual odysseys which dominate the literature of
nineteenth-century England, Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua is
universally acknowledged as one of the greatest and yet one of the
most difficult. Newman wrote the Apologia in 1864, as a reply to
Charles Kingsley's attack on his veracity and that of his fellow
Roman Catholic clergy; the following year he revised it extensively
and thereafter amended new impressions almost until his death in
1890. This fine edition, long unavailable, has been reissued for
the centenary; it includes all the variants resulting from Newman's
revisions, in both the printed texts and the surviving manuscripts.
