About
Focusing upon the arguments Newman uses to define Catholicism against the hostility of English protestants, this book is a reader's guide to the books Newman published soon after his own conversion: "Mixed Congregations"; "Difficulties of Anglicans"; "Present Position of Catholics," and his two novels. While the arguments advanced in "Difficulties of Anglicans" and "Present Position of Catholics" are confrontationally direct, his novels "Loss and Gain" and "Callista" respond to the attacks of Elizabeth Harris' "From Oxford to Rome" and Charles Kingsley's "Hypatia" by the indirection which typifies Newman's fictional rhetoric.
