Kenelm Henry Digby collection 1815-1918

http://hdl.handle.net/10079/fa/beinecke.digby

The collection contains letters from various Digby family members and friends, including Marcella Digby; the comte d'Esgrigny; Henry Edward, Cardinal Manning; Montalembert; and Robert Hare. Letters from Ambrose Lisle Phillipps discuss Catholicism in England, recent conversions, and the early Oxford Movement; letters from Charles Julius Hare comment unfavorably on Digby's attacks on Protestantism. There is also a small amount of research correspondence with Bernard Holland, author of Memoir of Kenelm Henry Digby (1919). The collection also includes newspaper clippings of reviews of Digby's later works; obituaries of Digby; and a sketchbook.
