The Dream of Gerontius, first published in 1865, is Cardinal
Newman's epic poem describing the descent of Gerontius, an Everyman
character, into death and Purgatory. The poem opens with the old
man's realization that his time has come. And once he has died, the
story follows his soul through an encounter with angels and demons
as he approaches the judgment of God. Dramatists will find this an
interesting interpretation of the Christian vision of life after
death. British theologian JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN (1801-1890), a
leading figure in both the Church of England and, after his
conversion, the Roman Catholic Church, was known as "The Father of
the Second Vatican Council." His Parochial and Plain Sermons
(1834-42) is considered the best collection of sermons in the
English language. He is also the author of A Grammar of Assent
(1870).
