Pre-Tractarian Oxford: A Reminiscence Of The Oriel Noetics (1909)

Pre-Tractarian Oxford: A Reminiscence Of The Oriel Noetics (1909) is a book written by William Tuckwell. The book is a memoir that provides a detailed account of the intellectual and social life of Oxford University in the early 19th century, before the rise of the Tractarian Movement. Tuckwell focuses on the group of intellectuals known as the Oriel Noetics, who were associated with Oriel College and included figures such as John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the religious controversies of the time, the debates over the nature of knowledge and truth, and the social and cultural life of Oxford. Tuckwell draws on his own experiences as a student at Oxford during this period, as well as on extensive research and interviews with other members of the Oriel Noetics. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural world of Oxford in the early 19th century, and sheds light on the origins of the Tractarian Movement and its impact on British intellectual and religious life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
