The Oxford or Tractarian movement is an essential area of study for anyone interested in English church history and more widely the history of Britain in the Victorian era. This book is an up-to-date, scholarly but approachable exploration of the Movement that features primary material from a range of its key members. Herring places the Tractarians in the general political and social context of Victorian movements that were seeking to revitalize England's traditional institutions during a period of urbanization and industrialization. Herring looks at the relationship between the Movement and the older, pre-1833 High Church tradition and crucially, at developments after Newman's departure for Rome in 1845.
