This account of the Oxford or Tractarian movement provides essential information to the study of English church history and the history of England during the Victorian era. This book is an up-to-date, scholarly but approachable exploration of the Movement which features primary material from a range of its key members. Herring looks at the relationship beween the Movement and the older, pre-1833 High Church tradition and, crucially, at developments after Newman's departure for Rome in 1845. By placing the Tractarians in the general political and social context of Victorian movements that sought to revitalize England's traditional institutions during a period of urbanization and industrialization, Herring brings new meaning to the movement.

Reviews for What Was the Oxford Movement?

The author charts the progress of Tractarianism from its pre-1833 high-church inspiration through later ritualist developments with an impressive balance of attention...This book is the best general introduction to Tractarian ideas, events, parishes and documents, and it deserves a wide audience. --The Living Church, March 9, 2003
