Newman and Literary Studies: a symposium on studying Newman through literature

Scholarship on St John Henry Newman tends to focus on his theology, and occasionally his forays into writing literature – but this two day colloquium strikes a different note: asking how the study of literature informs understandings of Newman’s theology itself.

Join us and a selection of leading Newman specialists working on this intersection of Newman and Literary Studies, including:

• Professor Michael Hurley (Cambridge University)
• Dr Francesca Caraceni (Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore)
• Prof Bernadette Waterman Ward (University of Dallas)
• Professor Emeritus John Charmley (St Mary’s University)
• Dr Jacob Phillips (St Mary’s University).

The event will take place 9am-5pm on both days.
