This 1959 edition of “Msgr. Ronald Knox” by Evelyn Waugh is a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most influential Catholic figures of the 20th century. Waugh, a celebrated novelist and convert to Catholicism, brings his keen eye for detail and deep understanding of the faith to this biography of his friend and mentor, Monsignor Ronald Knox. Knox, a renowned scholar and translator of the Bible, played a pivotal role in the Catholic literary revival of the early 20th century, and his impact on the Church’s intellectual life cannot be overstated. This copy, though lacking a dust jacket, is a testament to the enduring significance of Knox’s life and work, and Waugh’s masterful portrayal of it. Despite its age and minor wear, the clean pages and secure binding make it a treasure for collectors and readers alike, offering a window into a pivotal era in Catholic history and thought.
