Wilfrid Philip Ward (2 January 1856 – 9 April 1916) was an English essayist and biographer. Ward and his friend Baron Friedrich von Hügel have been described as "the two leading lay English Catholic thinkers of their generation".[1][2]
Wilfrid Ward was born in 1856 at Old Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire, one of nine children of Catholic converts William George Ward and his wife Frances Wingfield Ward.[3]
He first went to Downside College, then St. Edmund's College in Ware, Hertfordshire. He obtained a B.A. degree from London University and later attended Catholic University College, Kensington. In 1877, Ward went to the English College, Rome to prepare for the priesthood and returned a year later to continue his studies at Ushaw College, in Durham, England. In 1881, shortly before his planned ordination, Ward reconsidered, and joined the Inner Temple to take up a career in law. Subsequently discouraged, he then became a writer.[3] Ward's particular interests were apologetics and theology. In 1885 Ward became a lecturer on philosophy at Ushaw.
In 1889, Ward published a biography of his father, William George Ward and the Oxford Movement.[5] This proving successful, he then wrote William George Ward and the Catholic Revival,.[6] Cardinal Herbert Vaughan then invited Ward to write a biography of the late Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman.[7] This was followed in 1912 by a two volume biography of John Henry Newman.[8]
From 1906 to 1915, Ward edited the Dublin Review. During his tenure, the journal published articles by G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, Francis Thompson and other well-known writers. Ward believed very strongly that Catholics should be involved in the affairs of the nation He also contributed to publications such as the Edinburgh Review, Quarterly Review and Contemporary Review.
