This full-length life of John Henry Newman is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the thinker and writer. It draws extensively on material from Newman’s letters and papers. Newman’s character is revealed in its complexity and contrasts: the legendary sadness and sensitivity are placed in their proper perspective by being set against his no less striking qualities of exuberance, humour, and toughness.
This book attempts to do justice to the fullness of Newman’s achievement and genius: the Victorian ‘prophet’ or ‘sage’, who ranks among the major English prose writers; the dominating religious figure of the nineteenth century, who can now be recognised as the forerunner of the Second Vatican Council and the modern ecumenical movement; and finally, the universal Christian thinker, whose significance transcends his culture and time.

“…[A] beautifully researched, valuable study of one of America’s most influential and mysterious artists. …[What] makes this book remarkable is Welles’s own contribution. His comments, opinions, interviews cut in and out of the narrative with an almost cinematic force.” -Patricia BosworthWhile it is a shame that Orson Welles, great filmmaker and master raconteur, never wrote a full account of his life, this book is the next best thing to a Welles autobiography. Barbara Leaming’s main sources are the hundreds of hours of interviews she conducted with Welles in the three years before his death. Though clearly biased toward its subject, this book benefits considerably from Welles’s wit and charm, which can be felt in Leaming’s summaries of the director’s experiences and in the generous number of quotations from Welles himself. At Leaming’s urging, and to the reader’s great pleasure, Welles recounts the whole of his fascinating life, discussing his relationship with his paren
