Description
John Henry Newman: A Portrait in Letters offers a unique insight into the personal life of one of the most eminent Victorians. Roderick Strange has carefully curated a selection of letters that reveal not only the well-known aspects of Newman's personality but also those lesser-known facets. These letters, spanning family relationships, friendships, and even terse exchanges laced with anger and sarcasm, provide a rounded picture of Newman as he truly was. As Newman himself noted, 'the true life of a man is in his letters'. This collection presents a nuanced portrait, one that invites readers to engage with the real person behind the historical figure. By exploring Newman's correspondence, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this complex individual and enjoy the pleasure of his company.
