Description
"A monumental achievement of research and sensitive literary criticism, combined with an acute awareness of the uniqueness of the individual conversion story."--Crisis "Part biography and part literary criticism, the book is at its best when exploring how the conversion experiences of its subjects influenced their critiques of the spirit of their age. . . ."--National Catholic Register "An elegantly written, carefully researched, and erudite exposition of some of the most seminal voices in British Catholic thought."--Catholic Historical Review "Schwartz's comparative analysis adds a great deal to our understanding of these four figures."--American Historical Review "A remarkable, indeed a staggering book. Each of the four sections, on Chesterton, Greene, Dawson, and Jones, taken alone, would have made it worthwhile. Taken together, they offer an illuminating analysis of the vigorous Catholic revival that took place in Britain during the early and middle years of the twentieth century. . . . [A] brilliant study."--Modern Age
