Join us as we read through Josephine Ward’s One Poor Scruple and Caryll Houselander’s The Dry Wood this Fall and Winter. This group is open to all reading levels.
The Lost Voices of the Catholic Literary Revival

Josephine Mary Hope-Scott Ward (1864-1932) spent her life in close companionship with the most active minds working in the late 19th century to restore to the Catholic Church in England the intellectual, sacramental and theological integrity it had once enjoyed before three hundred years of persecution. She wrote numerous novels, theological pamphlets, and articles for the Dublin Review and The Spectator.
Caryll Houselander (1901-1954) was a lay Roman Catholic ecclesiastical artist, mystic, popular religious writer and poet.
