The thesis is an historical account, given in a descriptive and narrative fashion, of the impact of Tractarianism on the life of the Church of England in the West Indies from 1850 to 1900, based largely on the investigation of widely scattered original sources. / The author examines the relationship between the Oxford Movement in England and the West Indies with a view to discovering similarities and differences and, where possible, to give reasons for the differences. / Special attention is given to those personalities, particularly the early bishops and clergy, through whom the principles of the Oxford Movement were transmitted to the West Indies. The role of Tractarianism in the interaction of high and low churchmanship is assessed. The reasons for opposition to it are noted, the strongest of which was the fear that it represented a stepping stone to Roman Catholicism. / Finally, cognizance is taken of Tractarian influence in major areas of the church's life and work, such as worship, church polity, pastoral concerns, theology, and religious education.
