"The Next Night. A Sermon Preached in Cromer Church on June 12, 1857, on the Occasion of the Death of Anna Gurney" is a work that not only reflects the anxiety and loss that characterized society at the time, but also encourages readers to reflect on their own lives and values. The author of this spiritual conversation is Edward Hoare, who successfully combined sublimity and the desire for morality in one work. Through the words spoken in this sermon, he tried to give an Easter message for churchgoers and all who seek to understand and at least temporarily experience the relationship between life and death.
