St. John Henry Newman was an influential churchman and man of letters, who led the Oxford movement and later became a cardinal deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. His eloquent prose style helped revive emphasis on the dogmatic authority of the church and urged reforms of the Church of England after the pattern of the original Catholic Church. A prolific author of many genres, Newman’s major works include the celebrated ‘Tracts for the Times’, his autobiography ‘Apologia pro vita sua’, religious novels and the poem ‘The Dream of Gerontius’, which was set to music by Edward Elgar. This eBook presents Newman’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
