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