Along with sermons, essays, and religious books, Newman was a noted author of hymns and poetry. A poetic imagining of the state of a pious soul just after death—as it journeys towards judgment—The Dream of Gerontius is one of Newman’s most famous poems. It was later set to music as an oratorio by Sir Edward Elgar.
