Return to Tradition
by Francis Beauchesne Thornton, editor
Code: 0912141700
Price: $49.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATIONShouldn’t you know more about the Catholic renewal in high gear before Vatican II? Shouldn’t your children and grandchildren? Sample the finest Catholic writing of the past two centuries in this massive anthology, now back in print after nearly half a century.
Amid the present decline of Catholic life and letters it seems astonishing to recall that in 1948, when this magnificent treasury was published, the Church was enjoying a great literary and intellectual revival that had been going on since the early 1800s. But secular publishers and critics paid little heed, creating the need for a comprehensive collection that would chart the Catholic Revival by anthologizing its leading lights. Fr. Francis Thornton’s wonderful treasury quickly became a standard in better Catholic high schools and colleges -- then fell out of favor after the Council. Now, Roman Catholic Books makes it available again in handsome, long-lasting hardcover.Fr. Thornton divides his survey into five expansive sections: “The English Revival” (including works by Newman, Frederick Faber, Robert Hugh Benson, Belloc, Chesterton, Knox, Sheed, and Waugh) ... “The French Influence” (works by Claudel, Gheon, Mauriac, Gilson, Bernanos, Maritain, et al) ... “The Irish Revival” (Padraic Colum, James Clarence Mangan, Canon Sheehan) ... “The American Revival” (Orestes Brownson, John La Farge, Joyce Kilmer, William Thomas Walsh, Fulton Sheen) ... and “The Liturgical Revival” (not to be confused with the upheaval after Vatican II, and including works by Karl Adam, Pius Parsch, Romano Guardini and Virgil Michel).The bounty here is nearly overwhelming -- no fewer than 128 authors, generously represented across 955 large-format, two-column pages. Shorter works, such as poems and essays, are presented unabridged; longer ones, such as novels and biographies, are represented by chapter-length highlights. The variety, as one reviewer noted, is nothing short of “amazing” (the lists below are partial):ESSAYS AND SERMONS including Cardinal Newman’s “The Second Spring” * Christopher Dawson’s “Humanism and the New Order” * Fr.

Catholic author Ralph McInerny, who teaches at Notre Dame, recalls that Return to Tradition “conveyed the thought that the American Catholic was, through his faith, connected with the mainstream of Western culture. One had the heady realization that the Puritans and other Protestants who founded what became our prestige universities were actually on the cultural margin of things.” Catholic -- and some non-Catholic -- reviewers in 1948 were no less impressed:
“Amazing variety: expertly chosen excerpts from work which grew organically out of the great Catholic Revival.... Father Thornton gives us apologetics, history and fiction, poetry, biography and the essay -- all richly sampled with brief but discerning biographical sketches of the authors. ... An incredible sum of instruction and delight.” -- The Sign“`Here is God’s plenty,’ the reader is impelled to say when he closes this book of nearly a thousand double-columned pages. ... fills a genuine need. Heretofore no editor has attempted the gigantic task of trying to include within one volume a survey of the Catholic literary revival of the past hundred years as it has manifested itself in England, in France, in Ireland, and in our own United States. Anthologies devoted to one country or to one genre have been collected, but here one will find Newman as well as Claudel, Padraic Colum as well as Thomas Merton. Here are Catholic historians, poets, essayists, philosophers, liturgists, novelists and dramatists.” -- Renascence“Richly interesting, informative, enjoyable and impressive. ... The range of the writers’ subjects is wide, the degrees of their excellence various, but merit of one kind or another is in every selection, and, thanks to the great diversity, the reader is constantly surprised and refreshed.... Particularly impressive is the fact that a great majority of the famous authors called upon by Father Thornton are converts. Their numbers bear eloquent witness to the attractive power of the Catholic Revival.” -- Saturday ReviewHUGE: 955 two-column pages, 10” x 7” size
