John Henry Cardinal Newman, C.O. (February 21, 1801 – August 11, 1890) was an Anglican convert to Roman Catholicism, later made a cardinal. Apologia is the most typical and important of the writings of its author. In the first place, it is, in some ways, his most characteristic work. It is instinct with his personality. It is the best exhibition in Newman's published writings of his curious absorption in the drama of his own life. Kingsley's attack on him gave him the opportunity for setting himself right alike with the larger public and with the smaller.
