Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Pre-Tractarian Oxford: A Reminiscence Of The Oriel Noetics is a historical book written by William Tuckwell in 1909. The book provides a detailed account of the intellectual and social climate of Oxford University during the early 19th century, prior to the emergence of the Tractarian Movement. Tuckwell focuses on the group of scholars known as the Oriel Noetics, who were associated with Oriel College and were known for their intellectual and theological pursuits. The book covers a range of topics, including the religious and philosophical debates that were taking place at the time, the social life of the students and faculty, and the impact of key figures such as John Henry Newman and Richard Whately. Tuckwell draws on his own experiences as an undergraduate at Oxford in the 1840s, as well as on his extensive research into the period, to provide a vivid and engaging portrait of life at the university during this formative period. Overall, Pre-Tractarian Oxford: A Reminiscence Of The Oriel Noetics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Oxford University, the intellectual climate of the early 19th century, or the development of religious thought in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
