John Henry Newman and the English Sensibility

Distant Scene

Jacob Phillips, St Mary's University, UK Employs key coordinates of cultural theory to discern how the notion of English sensibility applies to John Henry Newman, with a detailed study of Newman’s lifelong conflict with his own cultural identity. Phillips compares Newman’s early Anglican work, featuring integral qualities of ‘reserve’, ‘pragmatism’ and ‘moderation’, and compares them both with Newman’s later critiques of his own work, and the ways in which English tendencies resurface in his mature work�
