Sinopsis

'Criticism is often received as a sharp sword, enraging and embittering the recipient. Yet it may alsoáprompt an honest re-examination and a humble defense of oneâÇÖs writings. Newman and his Critics, Edward ShortâÇÖs masterful account of John Henry NewmanâÇÖs dealings with hiscritics demonstrates that NewmanâÇÖs charity and love of the truth broughtáforth magnificent writings that are instructive and convincing, free of acrimonyáand acerbity. We have much to learn from NewmanâÇÖs trulyáChristian way of engaging with those who disagreedáwith him.'THE REV. GERALD E. MURRAY, Author of Calming the Storm: Navigating the Crises Facing the Catholic Church and SocietyáEdward Short is the author ofáNewman and his Contemporaries,áand Newman and his Family, both now reissued by Gracewing in uniform editions to the present volume, as well as Newman and History. The first volume of his collected essays and reviews, asáAdventures in the Book Pages, was acclaimed by theáCatholic Heraldáas 'wise, witty and entertaining.'áHis critical edition of the first volume of NewmanâÇÖsáDifficulties of |Anglicans introduces and annotates the lectures that Newman delivered in London in 1850, which, taken together, constitute a dress rehearsal for hisáApologia Pro Vita Sua.áEdward Short Short also edited theáSaint MaryâÇÖs Book of Christian Verse (2022),áwhich Prof. Emma Mason of Warwick University called 'a mesmerizingly beautiful anthology.'áHis latest collection,áWhat the Bells Sang: Essays and Reviewsá(2023) includes far-ranging pieces on poets, novelists, moralists and historians.ááLordáAndrew Roberts, ChurchillâÇÖs biographer, called the book 'beautifully written,' 'brave' and 'wise.'á
