William Henry Anderdon (26 December 1816 – 28 July 1890) was an English Jesuit and Catholic writer, born in London.^[1]

Biography

After three years at King's College London, Anderdon matriculated at Oxford, when about nineteen, and entered Balliol College, matriculating in 1835. Soon after, he won a scholarship at University College, Oxford, and graduated B.A. there in 1839.^[2] He received ordination in the Church of England, became vicar of Withyam, and in 1846 of St Margaret's Church, Leicester.

In 1850 Anderdon was received into the Catholic Church in Paris by Gustave Delacroix de Ravignan. Ordained at Oscott by Bishop Ullathorne in 1853, he was appointed a lecturer at Ushaw College and afterwards a preacher and confessor at Newman University Church in Dublin. During his stay in Ireland the Franciscan convent of Drumshambo was founded, mainly through his efforts. In 1856, he was called to London by his uncle, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning, whose secretary he remained until he joined the Jesuits in 1872. From 1875 to 1889 he lived in Manchester, working as preacher, spiritual guide, and writer.

Works

Anderdon wrote a number of Catholic stories, many of which went through nine or ten editions and were translated into German and French. These include:

Bonneval, the Story of the Fronde (1857)
Owen Evans, the Catholic Crusoe (1862)
Afternoons with the Saints (1863)
In the Snow, Tales of Mt. St. Bernard (1866)
Fasti Apostolici (1882)
Evening with the Saints (1883)
Britain's Early Faith (1887)

His apologetic writings include:

Is Ritualism Honest?
Controversial Papers (1878)
Luther's Words and the Word of God" (1883)
Luther at Table
What sort of man was Luther? (1883)
What do Catholics Really Believe?
Confession to a Priest (1881)

Anderdon was also a prolific author for a number of periodicals, including the Weekly Register, the (English) Messenger of the Sacred Heart, the Xaverian, Merry England, the Month, and the Irish Monthly.

Anderdon's last works were The Old Religion of Taunton (1890) and Five Minutes' Sermons, the latter completed only in part at his death.

-Father Anderdon began his literary [[apostulate]] by writing Catholic tales: "Bonneval, the Story of the Fronde" (1857); "Owen Evans, the Catholic Crusoe" (1862); "Afternoons with the Saints" (1863), "In the Snow, Tales of Mt. St. Bernard" (1866). All these stories, save the first, went through nine or ten editions, and were translated into [[German language|German]] and [[French language|French]]. Other valuable works from his pen are "Fasti Apostolici" (1882), "Evening with the Saints" (1883) and "Britain's Early Faith" (1887). His method in his writings was to understand rather than to exaggerate. Among his works, the best known are "Is Ritualism Honest?", "Controversial Papers" (1878), "Luther's Words and the Word of God" (8th thousand, 1883), "Luther at Table", "What sort of man was Luther?" (13th thousand, 1883). What do Catholics Really Believe?", "Confession to a Priest" (1881).

-His [[newspaper]] work displayed a fine sense of irony in treating the polemics of the day. He was ever busy writing for the ''Weekly Register'', the (English) ''Messenger of the Sacred Heart'', the ''Xaverian'', ''Merry England'', the ''Month'', the ''[[Irish Monthly]]'', and other serial publications. His last works were ''The Old Religion of Taunton'' (1890); and ''Five Minutes' Sermons'', the latter completed only in part at his death.
