Overview

This is an introduction to English literature, with a tour of the creative landscape of Catholic prose and poetry in the company of Joseph Pearce. Interpreting the spiritual depths of the Catholic literary tradition, this book covers the vast terrain from Dante to Tolkien, from Shakespeare to Waugh. Focusing, in particular, on the 20th-century literary revival, Pearce touches on well-known authors like G. K. Chesterton and J. R. R. Tolkien, but also lesser-knowns such as Roy Campbell, Maurice -Baring, and Owen Barfield.
