The letters that passed between Mark Pattison--revered scholar and
renowned educational reformer--and Meta Bradley--Pattison's
cherished friend and confidante--are among the most remarkable and
intimate records of middle-class life in Victorian England. Often
moving, sometimes sad, they tell the story of an extraordinary
friendship between the Rector of an Oxford college, a married man
in his seventies, and a woman some forty years his junior. In
character Pattison was an original, the possible prototype for
George Eliot's Dr. Casaubon in Middlemarch. After his marriage to
the beautiful and artistic Francis Strong went sour, he became
friendly with Meta Bradley. But when the sharp disapproval of their
friends, relatives, and Oxford society prevented more than
occasional meetings, an almost daily correspondence by letter
became their primary recourse. These 450 or so letters, most never
before published, paint detailed portraits of the enigmatic
Pattison and other leading personalities, and provide unique
first-hand insights into the lives and values of Victorian academic
and middle-class society. The editor offers a valuable commentary
on the personalities and issues involved in the correspondence, and
in a conclusion follows the lives of the central characters in the
years after Pattison's death.

Comprising seven essays by learned contributors and controversially
advocating a rationalist Christianity, this work became a sensation
upon publication in 1860. Frederick Temple (1821 1902), later
Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote on the cultural contributions of
non-Christians; Roland Williams (1817 70), Professor of Hebrew at
Lampeter, questioned Old Testament prophesies; Baden Powell (1796
1850), Oxford Professor of Geometry, challenged belief in miracles
and embraced Darwinism; Henry Bristow Wilson (1803 88) questioned
literal biblical history; the only lay contributor, Egyptologist
Charles Wycliffe Goodwin (1817 78), embraced geology; Mark Pattison
(1813 84), tutor at Lincoln College, wrote on the history of
rationalist theology; and Benjamin Jowett (1817 93), Oxford
Professor of Greek, advocated a historical reading of the Bible.
Wilson and Williams were later found guilty of heresy by a Church
court, though this was overturned on appeal. For readers interested
in the theological controversies of the Victorian era, these essays
remain invaluable.
Mark Pattison's Memoirs, compiled during his last illness and
published posthumously in 1885, recount the academic's fascinating,
if difficult, life. Highly regarded for his learning, Pattison
(1813 84) spent most of his adult life in Oxford, first as a
student, then a tutor, and eventually, from 1861, as Rector of
Lincoln College. He was a close associate of Newman and the
Tractarians during the 1840s, though he later tended towards
agnosticism. During the 1850s he made several visits to German
universities, and developed an interest in early modern Protestant
thought. He later edited works by Pope and Milton. Pattison's
Memoirs paint a vivid though often bitter portrait of life in
Victorian Oxford. They describe his incompetent tutors, his
disillusionment with the Oxford Movement, and vicious academic
rivalries. Pattison would not permit changes to 'soften' the
impact, but his editor omitted certain passages that might 'wound
the feelings of the living'.
