- Additional Information
This volume gathers three portraits from the long, wounded history of English Catholicism: Alcuin, the Benedictine scholar who shaped the mind of Charlemagne; Adrian IV, the only Englishman to sit upon the Chair of Peter; and the Elizabethan martyrs, whose hidden Masses and public executions mark the end of an age.
These are not modern men, nor are they romantic fictions. They belong to that vanished order in which the Faith governed the structure of time, the pattern of education, the language of law, and the destiny of kings. Their world was once England’s. It no longer is.
Drawn from original sources by Ethel Wilmot-Buxton, Richard Raby, and Dom Bede Camm, and introduced with new commentary by Austin L. Lambert, this triptych—The Monk, The Pope, & The Martyr—presents a vision of Catholic order in its fullness: intellectual, juridical, and sacrificial.
