QBB-5 This full-length life of John Henry Newman is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the thinker and writer. It draws extensively on material from Newman's letters and papers. Newman's character is revealed in its complexity and contrasts: the legendary sadness and sensitivity are placed in their proper perspective by being set against his no less striking qualities of exuberance, humour, and toughness
As splendid and enthralling a Life as I have had in my hands for many a day.... wonderful precision and clarity ... Newman's greatness is undeniable ... And then I turned to the Index.... its full, almost heroic, awfulness needs proper savouring, since every time the reader thinks that the nadir has been reached, ... worse is to come.... [paragraphs of undifferentiated page numbers], subheadings as ridiculous as they are otiose … listed only in the order in which they appear in the book …
This is a full-length biography paying equal attention to John Henry Newman's achievements as a thinker & writer & his personal life-story. Newman, whose religious significance transcends his own culture & time, is here revealed in his complexity, his sadness & sensitivity set against his exuberance, & strength in the face of adversity.
