He was an English priest, poet, novelist, philosopher, theologian and later a Catholic cardinal who was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century. He studied at Trinity College, Oxford University.

He wrote several books include: Tracts for the Times, The Arians of the fourth century, Loss and Gain (novel), The Idea of a University, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, Grammar of Assent, The Dream of Gerontius (poem), Meditations and devotions, and Mary, the Second Eve.
