SHADOWS OVER ENGLISH
LITERATURE, by Constance Jul
ian (Bruce) $1.50
Constance Julian, Australian
author, writes from experience
about shadows. . . . the shadows of
Protestant mistakes and misunder
standing of things Catholic. . . .
for she groped her owa way
through those dim and half-lit
corridors to find the brilliant, un
dying sunshine of the one Church
which holds complete truth.
The “what - might - have-been”
theme runs through the first nine
of Miss Julian’s beautifully poig
nant essays like a string through
a circlet of gems. The whole
slim volume is entrancing as an
exquisite bit of jewelry.
While she describes the incom
plete beauty of the lives of Cow-
per, Coleridge, Adam Gordon and
many others,, showing what knowl
edge of sacramental grace and
other benefits of security in the
Catholic Church would have meant
to these wandering souls.
Miss Julian’s brilliant little
book is completed by two chap
ters more sparkling even than the
others. Her treatment of Thomp
son and Newman, as examples of
two who did proceed beyond the
shadows, gives the desired “happy
ending” effect.
This little gem is a delight for
the reader and a must for the
teacher and student of literature.
Books for review next month
are the following The Mystery
of Iniquity, by Paul Manley Fur-
fey (Bruce); The Bond of Peace,
by Michael Kent (Bruce); The
Reign of Jesus Through Mary, by
Gabriel Denis, S. M. M. (Mont-
fort Fathers); The Social Message
of the Early Church Fathers, by
Iwino Giordani (St. Anthony Guild
Press); Who Walk in Pride, by
Helene Margaret (Bruce).
