Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘[An] admirable book’
A N Wilson in the Literary Review
‘[An] illuminating account of a phenomenon firmly rooted in its period’
Sunday Times Books
The twentieth century has been marked both by belief and unbelief. While church attendance has declined, the lives of many of the most salient figures of our times have been influenced and inspired by Christianity.
'Literary Converts' is a biographical exploration into the spiritual lives of some those figures. More specifically, it takes us on a journey into the deepest beliefs of some of the greatest writers in the English language: Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh, C.S.Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, Graham Greene, G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, T.S. Eliot and J. R. R. Tolkien.
Many will be intrigued to know more about what inspired their literary heroes; others will find the association of such names with Christian belief surprising or even controversial. Whatever viewpoint we may have, 'Literary Converts' touches on some of the most important questions of the twentieth century, making it a fascinating read.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Graham Greene. G.K. Chesterton. Alec Guinness. Edith Sitwell. Ronald Knox, Malcolm Muggeridge. Siegfried Sassoon. Muriel Spark. Evelyn Waugh. T.S. Eliot. Dorothy Sayers. Hilaire Belloc. J.R.R. Tolkien. Charles Williams. Alfred Noyes. Christopher Dawson. Robert Speaight. David Jones. R.H. Benson. C.S. Lewis. Oscar Wilde. At the dawn of the twentieth century, the intelligentsia had largely embraced the assumption that Nietzsche had proclaimed with boldness: ''God is dead,'' the myth no longer holds. Rising socialist humanism, rising Marxism, prevailing agnosticism. And then. an odd collection of brilliant literary figures and minds -- consciously? unconsciously? -- began crafting some of the century's greatest literary masterpieces which continue to function as most potent Christian responses to the spreading miasma of unbelief. Pearce's study examines the conversions and interrelationships of this weighty assemblage in a way provocative, insightful, and challenging to our often dulled or lazy consciousnesses. The list of protagonists itself is inspiration enough to enjoy this one!. Seller Inventory # 96269
