Description
Excerpt from Selections From the Prose Writings of John Henry Cardinal Newman: For the Use of Schools
Newman s best essays display a delicate and hex ible treatment of language, without emphasis, without oddity, which hardly arrests the attention at first, the reader being absorbed in the argument or state ment, - but which, in course of time, fascinates, as a thing miraculous in its limpid grace and suavity Edmund Gosse''s History of Modern English Literature.
The work of Newman reveals him as one of the great masters of graceful, scholarly, finished prose. It is individual, it has charm, and this is the secret of its power to interest. N o writer of our time has re?ected his mind and heart in his pages as has Newman. He has light for the intellect and warmth for the heart.
