Copy of Dream of Gerontius
- Scope & Content:
-
A pocket-sized copy of the book Dream of Gerontius, written by Cardinal John Henry Newman, with an accompanying black fabric case embroidered with initials in golden thread.
This volume is marked with annotations in facsimile of those present on a copy of the book given by Charles George Gordon to war correspondent Frank Power in Khartoum before their defeat. Mr Power apparently sent his copy to his sister (C.194.a.432) who showed it to Cardinal Newman.
This volume may have been the possession of Gordon's sister, Mary Augusta, and includes additional annotations before the title page detailing Cardinal Newman's response to seeing Gordon's original annotated copy of his book.
