About this title

Synopsis

Oxfordism: Or The Layman�������s Guide For Detecting And Avoiding The Perils And Absurdities Of Puseyism, A Cowperanian Poem (1865) is a satirical poem written by Philologos. The poem is a critique of the Oxford Movement, also known as Puseyism, which was a movement within the Church of England in the 19th century that sought to restore traditional Catholic practices and beliefs. The poem is written in the style of William Cowper, a popular poet of the time, and uses humor and irony to expose what the author sees as the absurdities and dangers of the Oxford Movement. The Layman�������s Guide in the title refers to the fact that the poem is written for the common people, or laymen, who may not be familiar with the intricacies of the Oxford Movement. Overall, the poem is a witty and scathing critique of a controversial movement within the Church of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
