ABSTRACT
J ohn Henry Newman Of all the Tractarian writers and preachers whom Hopkins is known to have read or heard, Newman alone was influential from the early days of Hopkins' Oxford career until his death in 1889. When Hopkins arrived at Balliol in 1863 the only original Tractarian still at Oxford was Edward Pusey, who continued to advocate Tractarian concerns with the assistance of his proUge, Henry Liddon. Hurrell Froude had been dead for fifteen years, Keble was an old man living out his last years in his country parish, and Newman was in Birmingham, at the Oratory which he had opened in 1847.
