Joseph Pearce
This is a wonderful look at Great Britain’s modern literary converts to Catholicism: G. K. Chesterton, Evelyn Waugh, Siegfried Sassoon, E. F. Schumacher, and many more. In addition to the names everyone will recognize, Pearce writes about authors who should be better known, such as Ronald Knox and Robert Hugh Benson. He also offers insights into the Catholic origins of the thinking of several authors, such as E. F. Schumacher (author of “Small is Beautiful“) who are not usually thought of as “Catholic writers”.
Interestingly, the author is former skinhead with a conversion story of his own.
