Conversions to Catholicism among Fin de Siècle Writers: A Spiritual and Literary Genealogy by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…The Decadent converts were also marked by another major, but less obvious, imprint, that left by John Henry Newman. The Tractarian theologian’s religion may at first sight have little in common with the aesthetic religion of the fin de siècle poets, and yet his view of the act of faith as founded on the senses, the emotions and the imagination was certainly an element that they were keen to appropriate, and his focus on the human conscience as the centre of religious experience is implicitly present in the solitary and highly subjective piety that emerges in the works of Gray, Johnson and Dowson.…”

A Choral Meditation: Fusing Past and Present in the Sacred Music of Eoghan Desmond by Laura Sheils

“…This article focuses on the composer’s choral work <i>Nothing in Vain</i> (2021), a setting of John Henry Newman’s ‘A Meditation on Trust in God’. Through critical score analysis, I highlight Desmond’s ability to reflect Newman’s devotion to God and to evoke a sense of the spiritual through his formal organisation and application of harmonic, rhythmic, and textural techniques, drawing on influences from the Renaissance tradition, the contemporary style of ambient music, and the work of well-known composer James MacMillan. …”

Sleek divines and beaux esprits: the universities and the system of knowledge in England, c.1690-1750 by Bailey, N

“…The famous contention of John Henry Newman that universities are at best locations for the ‘diffusion and extension of knowledge’ but not for its advancement thus lives on, and has only been heightened by the persistent supposition among historians that the eighteenth-century English universities ‘surrendered their cultural leadership’. …”

The Promise of Passional Reason by Brad Kallenberg

“…Wainwright has shown that charges of circularity and subjectivism fail in the cases of such thinkers as Jonathan Edwards, John Henry Newman, and William James. Read in one way, Wainwright’s work may be taken as a strategic defense that prevents antagonists from excluding religious voices from philosophical conversation. …”

The nineteenth-century British Jesuits, with special reference to their relations with the vicars apostolic and the bishops by L'Estrange, P, L'estrange, Peter John

“…Discussion is concentrated on the Jesuits' relations with Henry Manning in Westminster and Herbert Vaughan in Salford, in whose diocese the Jesuits attempted to open a college in Manchester; attention is also given to John Henry Newman, who, whilst not a diocesan Bishop, was a figure of related significance in this context. …”

Doctrine, progress and history: British religious debate 1845-1914 by Bennett, J

“…In an intellectual movement approximately beginning with the 1845 publication of John Henry Newman's 'Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine', and powerfully spreading and developing until the earlier years of the twentieth century, British intellectuals came to treat the history of religion – both as a past and present process, and as a didactic genre - as a vital element of broader attempts to stabilise or reconstruct religious belief and social order.…”

Forms of unknowing in Victorian poetry by McGhee, F

“…My fourth chapter pursues Alice Meynell’s interest in God’s hiddenness as a potential resource of faith, linking it to the thought of John Henry Newman and the figure of the Virgin Mary. My final chapter explores Thomas Hardy’s attention to the difficulties of knowing (and being known by) other people, showing how more fruitful modes of engagement may depend upon relinquishing the desire for secure knowledge.…”

Emilio Faroldi, Maria Pilar Vettori. Insegnare l’Architettura. Due Scuole a confronto by Oscar Eugenio Bellini

“…This is the basis for the University experience – as a community committed to stimulating thoughts and reasoning and as a place where to meet teachers able to lead others’ experience. John Henry Newman wrote: «an academic system without the personal influence of teachers on disciples is an Arctic winter» (Newman, 1872). …”

Christ, faith and language in the religious thought of Matthew Arnold by Speller, J, Speller, John Leslie

“…Thomas Carlyle's book, Past and Present may also be viewed as belonging to this tradition, although Carlyle ceased to exercise an influence upon Matthew Arnold after 1849. John Henry Newman, who objected to the "triumph of Sight over Faith," was another important influence in Arnold's life.…”
