This book is a response to that crisis. But it is not about politics as usually understood. It is not a diagnosis of cultural malaise. It is not a theoretical proposal or plan. This is a book of examples, of models, of how to live in America. The hour of criticism has passed. It is time for rebuilding. Catholics and all persons of good will need to create anew. For some this will mean writing beautiful poems or making beautiful works of art. For some it will mean sacrificial service of the poor. For some it will mean establishing schools and other Catholic institutions to replace those that have lost their way. For many it will simply mean building strong families. In short, this is a time to focus on the true, the beautiful, and the good, first through contemplation and second through building, making, and revitalizing. A Time to Build Anew provides models of men and women who have produced works of beauty in challenging circumstances, who have taught truth without fear, who have served the most vulnerable with great joy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46727009075518,"sku":"9781621387114","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46727009108286,"sku":"9781621387121","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/HARTCH-ATIMETOBUILDANEW.jpg?v=1757008199"},{"product_id":"christian-and-oriental-philosophy-of-art","title":"Christian and Oriental Philosophy of Art","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nine essays in this book are among Coomaraswamy’s most accessible and rewarding.

These essays reach far deeper and have a much wider scope than most contemporary cultural critique.

Long considered by haiku enthusiasts an essential resource for English-speaking readers, Blyth's four-volume haiku anthology is a testament to his love and deep understanding of this singular art form. Presenting the best work of Japan's haiku masters alongside his own lucid commentary, Blyth's volumes communicate the true meaning and spirit of haiku in a way rarely accessible to western readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe concluding volume of Blyth's anthology, \u003cem\u003eHaiku\u003c\/em\u003e Vol. IV (Autumn and Winter) contains a wide sampling of haiku particularly attuned to these two seasons.

Only Beauty, in his thought, has the ability to ennoble both thinking and sentiment, and only Beauty can allow the human person to awaken what he calls the “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eplay impulse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,” which manifests itself as “the extinction of time in time and the reconciliation of becoming and absolute being, of variation with identity” (Fourteenth Letter). Play is important to Schiller because play returns the human person to himself: “For, to declare once and for all, Man plays only when he is in the full sense of the word a man, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ehe is only wholly Man when he is playing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” (Fifteenth Letter). It is important in times such as ours that we turn to philosophies of education that emphasize not the utilitarian desires of governments and corporations but the simultaneously transcendent and immanent qualities that reveal to us what it is to be human. Friedrich Schiller’s letters \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the Aesthetic Education of Man\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is such a text. Schiller does not provide us with a pedagogical strategy, nor does he offer us a definitive answer as to what such an aesthetic education would look like.

presents a study of two ways in which the saving beauty of Christ shines upon the world: in the lives of His saints, and in the works of Christian art—“the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty.” This unique and unprecedented theological meditation centers on several works of art of the Dominican blessed, John of Fiesole, known to the world as Fra Angelico. Drawing on the wisdom of the Church’s Fathers and Doctors, Saward has written a book not on art history, but on the attractive radiance of Catholic truth. Its goal is to help Christians grow in wonder at the glory of Divine Revelation, to which both the Church’s saints and the Church’s art bear witness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

Charles Williams's \u003cem\u003eFigure of Beatrice\u003c\/em\u003e stands out amid the vast field of Dante scholarship for its uniquely sympathetic enthusiasm and clarity, which brilliantly unlock this master poet’s vast reach for general readers and specialists alike. Williams begins by tracing the way in which the central image of Beatrice, representing transcendent beauty in feminine form, animates Dante's earlier works. He then plunges into and expounds on \u003cem\u003eThe Divine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e, meditating on its significance primarily through the affirmation of theological images. Foreshadowing the modern emphasis on Dante as philosopher-poet, Williams also touches on many later concerns of Dante criticism, including ambiguities of language, the inherent self-contradiction of all truly penetrating discourse, and in particular the archetypal role of the feminine.

Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a book of wide erudition and simple style; its goal is to present the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurgatorio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, according to the science of spiritual psychology, as a practical guide to travelers on the Spiritual Path. The author draws upon many sources: the Greek Fathers, notably Maximos the Confessor; St. John Climacus; Fathers and Doctors of the Latin Church, including St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; John Donne, William Blake and other metaphysical poets; the doctrines of Dante’s own initiatory lineage, the Fedeli d’Amore; the modern Eastern Orthodox writers Pavel Florensky and Jean-Claude Larchet; and the writings of the Traditionalist\/Perennialist School, including René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon, Martin Lings, Leo Schaya, and Titus Burckhardt. Other exegetes of Dante have dealt with the overall architecture of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, its astronomical and numerical symbolisms, its philosophical underpinnings, and its historical context. Jennifer Doane Upton, however—while preserving the narrative flow of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurgatorio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and making many cogent observations about its metaphysics—directs our attention instead to many of its “minute particulars,” unveiling their depth and symbolic resonance. She presents the ascent of the Mountain of Purgatory as a series of timeless steps, each of which must be plumbed to its depths before the next step arrives; in so doing she demonstrates how the center of this journey of purgation is everywhere, and its circumference nowhere. In the words of the author, “The soul in its journey must divest itself of extraneous tendencies and desires in order to become the ‘simple’ soul of theology — the soul of one essence, of one will, of one mind. If it can do this it will reach Paradise, its true homeland.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

Deane writes, “Genius he had in full measure … he is the master of the phrase or the sentence that embodies a penetrating insight, a flash of lightning that illuminates the entire sky.” To provide the student with a glimpse of that genius and a synthesis of Augustine’s views on man and society, the author presents the most important passages from Augustine’s entire body of work in which human nature, the social order, and the nature and function of the state are discussed. Marshaling this primary material, he masterfully weaves the connections between Augustine’s social and political ideas and the general framework of his thought. A new foreword by Richard A. Munkelt makes a substantial contribution in critiquing Deane’s assimilation of certain aspects of Augustine’s thought to modern-day liberalism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615835833707_30888\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881187299646,"sku":"9781621380344","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881187332414,"sku":"9781621386070","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/DEANE-POLITICALANDSOCIALIDEASOFSTAUGUSTING.jpg?v=1757008542"},{"product_id":"the-religious-poetry-of-vladimir-solovyov","title":"The Religious Poetry of Vladimir Solovyov","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616011880634_27602\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eVladimir Solovyov (1853–1900) was one of the most remarkable figures of the 19th century. He was the most important Russian speculative thinker of that century, publishing major works on theoretical philosophy, the philosophy of religion, and ethics. He also wrote profound religious verse, much of which is translated into English here for the first time. Included are all of the short lyric poems; Three Meetings, an autobiographical poem of mystical visions; The White Lily, a comical-mystical play, a genre invented by Solovyov; and a ground-breaking essay (translated into English for the first time) on Solovyov’s poetry by the eminent theologian Sergius Bulgakov. The most important poems are sophianic, in that they express a personal relation to Sophia, whom Solovyov encountered several times during his life. This book presents an aspect of Solovyov’s work that most readers are unaware of; it enables us to watch a spiritual genius plumbing the depths of cosmic truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1604272459532_6958\" data-block-type=\"47\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881265942846,"sku":"9781597312790","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/SOLOVYOV-RELIGIOUSPOETRYOFVLADIMIRSOLOVYOV.jpg?v=1757008548"},{"product_id":"these-bright-shadows","title":"These Bright Shadows","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collection of studies by the eminent author Brian Keeble, a long-time friend, colleague, and editor of the poet, is a series of regards, each having a focal point that differs from its neighbors, but which nonetheless is directed towards the same subject—the poet’s singular imaginative vision. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889194684734,"sku":"9781621386728","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46889194717502,"sku":"9781621386735","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/KEEBLE-THESEBRIGHTSHADOWS.jpg?v=1757008556"},{"product_id":"the-symbolism-of-the-christian-temple","title":"The Symbolism of the Christian Temple","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616016659771_30330\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThat sacred art scarcely exists today is all too evident. We can perhaps speak of a “religious,” but certainly not a sacred art. True sacred art is not sentimental or psychological, but ontological and cosmological in nature. Sacred art cannot be the result of the feelings, fantasies, or even “thought” of the artist — as with most modern art — but rather the translation of a reality largely surpassing the limits of human individuality. The temple of former times was an “instrument” of recollection, joy, sacrifice, and exaltation — first through the harmonious combination of a thousand crafted symbols, then by offering itself as a receptacle to the symbols of the liturgy. For the temple and the liturgy together constitute a prodigious formula capable of preparing man to become aware of the descent of Grace, of the epiphany of the Spirit in corporeity. It is a matter of urgency, then, to recall what true sacred art is, especially since in the cultural wasteland of our age signs of resistance to its anarchy and subversion are manifesting themselves, and a pressing call is felt to recover the traditional conceptions that must form the basis and condition of any restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889452568894,"sku":"9781597310666","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46889452601662,"sku":"9781621386162","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/HANI-SYMBOLISMOFTHECHRISTIANTEMPLE.jpg?v=1757008567"},{"product_id":"the-transformation-of-nature-in-art","title":"The Transformation of Nature in Art","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616016659771_30330\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616085638476_38459\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693495961603_479\" class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693495961603_478\" class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Transformation of Nature in Art\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Ananda Coomaraswamy explains the theory behind medieval European and Asian art, especially art in India.

Gregory Shaw focuses on the theory and practice of theurgy, a term meaning “divine action,” the most controversial and significant aspect of Iamblichus’s Platonism. Unlike previous Platonists, who stressed the elevated status of the human soul, Iamblichus taught that the soul descends completely into the body and requires the performance of theurgic rites—revealed by the gods—to unite the soul with the One. Iamblichus was a seminal Platonic philosopher whose views on the soul and the importance of ritual profoundly influenced subsequent thinkers such as Proclus, Damascius, and Dionysius the Areopagite. Iamblichus’s vision of a hierarchical cosmos united by divine ritual became the dominant worldview for the entire medieval world, and played an important role in the Renaissance Platonism of Marsilio Ficino. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that he expected a reading of Iamblichus to cause a “revival in the churches.” Yet, until recently, modern scholars have dismissed him, seeing theurgy as ritual magic or an attempt to manipulate the gods. Shaw, however, shows that theurgy was a subtle and intellectually sophisticated attempt to apply Platonic and Pythagorean teachings to the full expression of human existence in the material world.

Heninger first recounts the legendary life of Pythagoras, describes his school at Croton, and discusses the materials from which the Renaissance drew its information about Pythagorean doctrine. The second section of the book reconstructs the many facets of this doctrine, and the final section shows its influence on Renaissance poetics. Individual chapters treat the assumption that the poet is a maker acting in likeness of the creating godhead, that metaphor depends upon correspondences between various levels of creation, and that the poem serves as a microcosm in literary form. The idea of cosmos, expressed as universal harmony—or as a tetrad—was prominent in the Renaissance period and strongly conditioned its aesthetics. Therefore, the author expresses his conviction that unless we accept the viability of a divinely- ordered universe, as did the sixteenth-century poet, we shall misinterpret much of the best writing in our language and much of the meaning of Elizabethan verse will be lost. Professor Heninger’s magisterial work introduces the reader not only to Pythagoras but to a host of other classical, medieval, and Renaissance figures as well—from Plato and Aristotle through St. Augustine and Macrobius down to Sidney and Spenser.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889886875966,"sku":"9781621380375","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46889886908734,"sku":"9781621386230","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/HENINGER-TOUCHESOFSWEETHARMONY.jpg?v=1757008602"},{"product_id":"zen-in-english-literature-and-oriental-classics","title":"Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616092096494_28559\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-7157d456bf2410f7674d\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1616093169788_26945\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eZen in English Literature and Oriental Classics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e embraces the classical literature of China and Japan and the whole extent of English literature, with numerous quotations not only from English but also from French, German, Italian, and Spanish writing.

Catholics they may both be, but they both were keenly aware that it is by their artistic sense that they would be judged as writers in the end. From the “Pied Beauty” of the “Greenfields Kirk” to the “Theological Blades,” the illuminated threnody of the Hopkins–Mackay Brown partnership takes us on a journey deep into the Fornaldarsǫgur of the North Atlantic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49909912600894,"sku":"9798892800242","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49909912633662,"sku":"979-8-89280-025-9","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/GRAY-PASSIONPARTNERS.jpg?v=1757008390"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/collections\/Art_and_Literary_Criticism_copy.jpg?v=1690829859","url":"https:\/\/angelicopress.com\/collections\/art-and-literary-criticism.oembed?page=4","provider":"Angelico Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
