Between 1833 and 1891 Henry Edward Manning (18081892) and William Ewart Gladstone (18091898) maintained a correspondence, broken only for a decade from 18511861and from 18751882. Tracing as it does the shifting relationships between two such major figures over the greater part of the nineteenth century, the collection provides substantial insights into debates on ChurchState realignments in the 1830s and 1840s, the entanglements of Anglican Old High Churchmen and Tractarians from the early years of the Oxford Movement to 1851, and the relationships between Roman Catholics and the British Government over Italian, Irish, educational, and other political and religious issues in the latter half of the nineteenth century.The first and second volumes include the greater part of the correspondence, composed while the two men were close friends, prior to Manning's entrance into the Roman Catholic Church in April 1851 and Gladstone's shift from the Conservative to the Liberal party at approximately the same time. The third and fourth volumes of the edition comprise their letters from the post1861 period, Manning then serving as a Roman Catholic priest and Archbishop of Westminster, and Gladstone as Chancellor of the Exchequer, leader of the Liberal opposition, and three terms as Liberal Prime Minister (his fourth following Manning's death). The fourth volume includes an appendix of materials marking their public debate initiated in late 1874 by Gladstone's charge that with the formal declaration of papal infallibility in 1870 Roman Catholics were required to renounce their "moral and mental freedom."
