1829–1888


Henry Nutcombe Oxenham (1829–1888) was an English ecclesiologist, theologian, author and translator. Originally ordained in the Church of England, he later became a Roman Catholic.

The poems printed here are those given in The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse (1917), edited by D. H. S. Nicholson and A. H. E. Lee; the text is taken from that anthology.
