Apologia Pro Vita Sua: Being a History of his Religious Opinions

by John Henry Newman, Martin J. Svaglic (Editor)

Overview

Of the spiritual odysseys which dominate the literature of nineteenth-century England, Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest and most difficult. This fine edition has been reissued for the centenary of Newman's death. It includes all the variants resulting from Newman's revisions, in both the printed text and the surviving manuscripts, as well as detailed notes and a judicious introduction which provides extensive background to the ecclesiastical history.
