Excerpt from Some Victorian and Georgian Catholics: Their Art and OutlookPoetry to-day is often distinguished by a ten dency to create verse without rhyme, and as far as I can see without reason. Fiction, with a few Excep tions, is pessimistic, unclean and unfortunately very clever. The Catholic writer, whether he be a poet or a novelist, has to make his art appeal to a hostile world, and he has also to be all the time m every detail a good Catholic When then, four poets and two novelists can combine a keen Catholicism with genius, we may expect to have prose and poetry worth careful study.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
