A different Waugh,
By Jorge Norber Ferro "Jorge Ferro" (Bella Vista, Buenos Aires Argentina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Two Lives: Edmund Campion and Ronald Knox (Continuum Compacts) (Paperback)
In this book we find a different Waugh, without his acustomed piercing humour. Two biographies, one of a saint and martyr an the other of a converted priest and scholar. It's very practical finding both works together in a single volume. Campion'life is a masterpiece of hagiography. In this kind of work it's common the lacking of literary excellence. Here we have a deep investigation offered to us in the best style. The life of Ronnie Knox -in spite of some observations we can find in Christopher Syke's biography of Waugh, very interesting in fact- we can living with him, and we cannot not loving him. We are obliged to think a lot about our own spiritual life and about the problems of catholic culture in last cantury.
