OverviewWhy should we study literature? To learn truth, answers Margaret Summitt, and in so far as a story, poem, or play is true, it is literature - and the deeper the truth it gets at, the more Catholic it is. In other words, the more deeply the author pursues truth, the more likely he is to find his way to the mysteries and dogmas of the Church. Summitt explores authors like Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Flannery O'Connor, J.R.R. Tolkien, and other greater writers. This book will satisfy your curiosity about these writers. Margaret Robe Summitt's introduction to Catholic literature is a sheer delight. It is a romp through some of the finest works of the past millenium, and is a rollicking good read from start to finish. It presents for our delectation a veritable feast of Christian delights: Chaucer, Chesterton, Eliot, Crashaw, Francis Thompson, Robert Southwell, Tolkien, Waugh, and Flanner O'Connor. From the medieval to the modern, and all stops in between, Margaret Robe Summitt takes us on a literary ride through some of the summits of the Catholic literary landscape. Enjoy the ride.
