The Saint and The Disciple

Penelope Hunting obtained her Ph.D from University of London and is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

Penelope Hunting's book brings out to a great extent the soul-wringing that went on and, using the private family archives, also presents thoroughly the various (Ryder-Wilberforce) family networks in minute and painstaking detail." Serenhedd James, St Stephen's House,Oxford - Catholic Historical Review, Spring 2016 "...the book contains numerous vignettes offering information on a variety of well known figures-filling up particular aspects of their lives or characters-while bringing to light other personalities who had before remained in obscurity. In so doing, it makes a praiseworthy contribution to the historical knowledge of the Oxford Movement and the Catholic Revival, focused for too long on a few of its main protagonists. Penelope Hunting's study of the Ryder/Clutton family papers and those of the Earl of Harrowby offers us another example of the tantalising riches contained in many private family archives still to be fully explored by historians." - Dr.James Pereiro, Oxford Brookes University
