The faith journeys of five converts to Catholicism from the Oxford Movement: Robert Coffin, the ultramontane archbishop; Frederick Oakeley, the thoughtful moderate; Richard Sibthorp, who reverted to Anglicanism but died a Catholic; Richard Simpson, an anguished liberal; and St. George Jackson Mivart, who was excommunicated for heresy.

The first of two volumes of dazzling essays on faith and culture by one of the most gifted and erudite Catholic thinkers today. The range and depth of these essays is remarkable, covering many of the most significant themes and theologians of the twentieth century: liturgy, literature, the Anglican "Radical Orthodoxy" movement, Scheeben, Newman and, of course, St Thomas. What is particularly impressive about this collection is the way in which Nichols presents us with a panoramic sweep in which clarity, detail and sobriety are not sacrificed to scope and virtuosity. No one interested in the major issues of modern theology will want to miss this book.  Essays include: St Thomas in His Time Thomism and the Nouvelle Théologie Balthasar and Rahner: "Anonymous Christianity" in Question Cardinal Ratzinger on Theology, Liturgy and Faith A Tale of Two Documents: Sacrosanctum Concilium and Mediator Dei Liturgy as Consummate Philosophy: A Reading of Pickstock's After Writing

<p>Olive Custance was the beautiful wife of Lord Alfred Douglas, the disgraced lover of Oscar Wilde. Apart from that, the literary world knows little of her today. Her reputation lies very much in the shadow of the men who knew and loved her. And yet this woman was a gifted poet in her own right and a friend of many key figures of the 'fin de si cle'. In this edition of The Inn of Dreams, a selection of poems made by Custance herself in 1911, editor Edwin King casts new light on the woman and her work with a substantial biographical introduction. It is time for lovers of poetry to rediscover this charming girl who once wrote to her husband: "Like a shy child I bring you all my songs".</p>

A Spanish saga of heretics, witches and saints ... Menéndez Pelayo, Spain's leading intellectual figure in the 19th century, tells the glorious tale of how Spain's Catholicism heroically survived all attemps against her; and in beautiful prose too, here rendered into English for the first time. The present volume deals with the challenges early Christianity faced in Spain prior to the Middle Ages. Books 2 and 3(in preparation) bring the history up to the eve of the Reformation. The author's introduction to the first edition ends with a prayer: "May God give me the light of understanding and a humble firmness of will; may He steer and guide my pen to narrate without anger or bias the sad history of error among our peninsular people! May He grant that this history may foster enlightenment and benefit, not scandal, to Christians everywhere." Few books of ecclesiastical history make for such a gripping read.
