A vivid and detailed history of the Tractarian Movement, from a participant and sympathizer, later Dean of St. Paul’s. The convoluted history of Tractarianism, from its first protest in support of Anglican Bishops in Ireland, against the Roman Church, to the declaration of one Tractarian (W. G.

Portrays the Movement as a drama within the University, centered on Newman, but offers extended portrayals of Hurrell Froude, Charles Marriott, Hugh James Rose, and (on the other side) R. D. Hampden,
