Description

The Early Reformation on the Continent, by Owen Chadwick, Oxford, Eng.: Clarendon Press, 2001. 446 pp. MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH Professor Owen Chadwickled eventually to several enjoyable meetings at Cambridge University, where we discussed the discipline of history, his own career, and the figures and events that make up his life's work. On one occasion at Selwyn College, I asked the distinguished church historian if he planned to write a memoir of his long academic career and the many personalities he has had the fortune to know. The response was disappointing, for he had no desire to write a memoir. The reason for this became clear to me when I came across this passage in The Early Reformation on the Continent: "It is very difficult for history to analyse such experiences [of religious conversion] because they are of the essence of autobiography and no persons judge their past accurately." While Chadwick may believe himself ill-suited to record his own personal history, he is willing and able to illuminate for his readers the lives of men and women who lived in centuries past.
