Beginning with Newmans conversion in 1845 and ending with Waughs completion of the triology The Sword of Honor in 1961  this book explores how Catholicism shaped the work of these six prominent writers. John Henry Newman claimed in The Idea of a University that post-Reformation English literature was overwhelmingly Protestant and that there was no prospect of a Catholic body of literature. Describing this claim as happily lacking in prescience  Ian Ker persuasively argues that Newman  Hopkins  Belloc  Chesterton  Greene  and Waugh succeeded in producing a substantial body of literature written by Catholics who wrote as Catholics. These revivalists were not so much influenced by traditional themes of guilt  sin  and ceremony  as they were attracted to unexpected facets of Catholicism. The idea of a Catholic priest as a craftsman is a recurring motif  as is the celebration of the ordinariness and objectivity of Catholicism. Kers compelling and intelligent reading of these six major writers will appeal to anyone with an interest in nineteenth- and twentieth-century English literature  or the relation between literature and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666252587061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0268038805","price":60.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780268038809.jpg?v=1782425256","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/catholic-revival-in-english-literature-18451961-the-newman-hopkins-belloc-chesterton-greene-waugh-9780268038809","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
