1792-1866. Anglican priest and religious
poet. His sermon on the decline of religious
faith in Britain, preached in 1833, heralded
the start of the Oxford Movement, a Catholic
revival in the Church of England. Keble
College, Oxford, was founded in 1870 in his
memory. Keble was professor of poetry at
Oxford 1831-41. He wrote four of the Tracts
for the Times (theological treatises in
support of the Oxford Movement), and from
1835 was vicar of Hursley in Hampshire.
