Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prose and Poetry
On Reading Newman,2 which purports to do nothing more than give the reader a sense of whereabouts amid Newman's many writ ings, but does a great deal more than that. Tristram was one of the most devoted, learned and wise Of Newman scholars - there is no one yet to fill the gap he has left - but I cannot help feeling that his interest in Newman's Catholicism depressed Newman for him as a writer. In that essay he makes one misvaluation, as it seems to me, which strikes at Newman's literary credentials. I shall concern myself with it later on.
Everybody agrees that Newman had many dazzling gifts. He was a distinguished holder of several public offices. He was a priest and so looked up to as an example in point Of piety, learning and morality.
