For the article Apologia Pro Vita Sua.
Historical accuracy
[edit]Newman's life
[edit]The Apologia has been seen as "retrospective rationalization" of Newman's conversion: while Newman emphasises dissatisfaction with the doctrine of Anglicanism, his abandonment of Anglicanism was more a psychological response to the opposition to Tract 90.[1] In the Apologia, Newman claims that his falling out with Richard Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, was the latter's fault, though Newman's own correspondence does not corroborate this.[2]
Oxford movement
[edit]Though Newman said that the Apologia was not intended to be a history of the Oxford Movement,[3] it has shaped subsequent perceptions of the Movement.[4][5] However, the accuracy of its portrayal of the Movement has been questioned since its initial publication.[6][7] Frank Turner argues that while the original opponent of the Oxford Movement was Evangelicalism, Newman in the Apologia recast the Movement into a struggle against liberalism.[8] Scholars also question Newman's claim that the Movement started with Keble's 1833 sermon, instead seeing its roots in the Oriel Noetics of the previous decade, though the danger warned about in the sermon gave "coherence and shape" to the Movement.[9]
