The Saint and the Disciple: John Henry, Cardinal Newman, the Reverend George Dudley Ryder and the Catholic Revival in Nineteenth Century England

By Penelope Hunting

In this monograph, contemporary English scholar Penelope Hunting explores the relationship between Cardinal Newman and George Dudley Ryder. The recovery of two sets of family papers relating to Newman, George Ryder (grandson of the Earl of Harrowby), the Wilberforces, the Sargents, and the Mannings provided the stimulus for Hunting's original research. While the interrelationship of Newman and Ryder are at the core of this work, Hunting also assesses Ryder's own very important historical contribution and discusses key issues of the period, including Catholic education, celibacy of the clergy, the Oxford Movement, and Tractarianism.
