| Summary: | The Tractarian movement is one of the most heavily ploughed fields in the historiography of nineteenth-century British religion. New discoveries and fresh perspectives are correspondingly rare but in James Pereiro’s latest work both are to be found. His sketch of the life of Samuel Francis Wood, younger brother of the first Lord Halifax, has added another character to the gallery of early Tractarianism and promoters of its cause and the inclusion of an edition of key sections of Wood’s correspondence and his early manuscript history of the movement are particularly welcome. Pereiro’s reassertion of the centrality of the concept of ‘Ethos’ and his extended exploration of the implications of that concept bring a genuinely new perspective to bear on Tractarianism as a whole. |
