The History Of My Life: An Autobiography (1891) is a memoir written by Ashton Oxenden, a prominent English clergyman and bishop. In this book, Oxenden recounts his life story, from his childhood in Kent to his career as a clergyman in the Church of England. He discusses his education at Oxford University, his ordination as a deacon, and his subsequent appointments to various parishes and dioceses throughout England. Oxenden also delves into his personal life, including his marriage to Mary Gurney and the birth of their children. He reflects on his religious beliefs and his experiences as a preacher, discussing his views on the role of the Church in society and his efforts to promote social reform. Throughout the book, Oxenden provides a vivid portrait of life in Victorian England, describing the social and political issues of the time and his interactions with notable figures such as William Wilberforce and John Henry Newman. He also offers insights into the workings of the Church of England and the challenges faced by clergy members in the nineteenth century. Overall, The History Of My Life: An Autobiography provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent Victorian clergyman and offers valuable insights into the social and religious history of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
