Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology

The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology (published by John Henry Parker) was a series of 19th-century editions of theological works by writers in the Church of England, devoted as the title suggests to significant Anglo-Catholic figures. It brought back into print a number of works from the 17th century, concentrating though not exclusively on the Caroline Divines.[1] The publication of the Library, from 1841, was connected with the Oxford Movement which had begun in 1833; some of the editors, such as William John Copeland[2] and Charles Crawley were clearly identified with the movement. However the interests of the Library diverged early from those of the Tractarians.[3] A total of 95 volumes by 20 writers was published over a dozen years; the plan, originally, had been to include 53 authors.[4] The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology was founded in response to the Parker Society.[5]
