The Oxford Conspirators

A narrative history of Oxford Movement, whereby a group of Anglican intellectuals, notably Newman, Pusey, Keble and Froude, attempted to restore to the Victorian Church of England the character of "primitive Christianity". Many of the inherent principles, such as Apostolic Succession, were seen to be exemplified by the Catholic Church. Newman later joined the Church of Rome, and the Anglo-Catholic wing of Anglicanism has its origins in this movement.
