Historical Sketches

Name: Historical Sketches
Author: John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman

The historical essays Newman wrote as a Catholic, gathered in the Historical Sketches of 1872-73: nine lectures on the Turks in their relation to Europe (1853), The Mission of St. Benedict and The Benedictine Schools, the Rise and Progress of Universities, The Northmen and Normans in England and Ireland, and Medieval Oxford. The earlier Anglican pieces of the same volumes (Church of the Fathers, the Cicero and Apollonius essays, Primitive Christianity, Convocation of Canterbury) are not in this book.
