Catholic Currents in Literature

THE CATHOLIC SPIRIT IN MODERN
ENGLIS H LITERATURE. BY
George N. Shuster. The Macmillan
Company.
nRoF. sHUsTER has accom-
plished something very we'll
worth doing in this unusual
study. 1t fills a place in current lit
erary history and criticism of mod
ern thought that has been vacant,
although Chesterton's victorian Age
in English Literature" and other
books have touched upon it, and
Hilaire Belloc has treated some
phases. From another angle Paul E.
More has examined 1t with acute
ness. But there has been no COM
prehensive survey of the function
ing of what Prof. Shuster calls the
Catholic Spirit" in English literature
of the past century. from an entirely
sympathetic, Roman Catholic point
Of view. Prof. Shuster is always so
to speak, looking at it from the in
side.s ; He is often enthusiastic, but
his critical faculties are not held in
complete allegiance so far as his ap-
praisal is concerned with purely ar
tistic matters. He probably would
not hesitate to admit, for instance,
that Kingsley's "Hypatia" is incom-
parably superior, as a historical
novel, to Cardinal Newman's Gal
hsta" or Wiseman's "Fabiola," al
though he rates the last named novel
highly.
But his approach is always that of
a devout Catholic; sometimes bellig-
erent and fiery in his conviction.
Nevertheless the book loses nothing
of interest or value from that; only
one must accept it for what it is.
Indeed, it gains in vividness from
the pronounced personality behind it.
Prof. Shuster is often an adept
phrase maker hlEcelf, especially
when he is deeply moved. Naturally.
such a book occasionally needs some
corrective, and sometimes his history
isn't quite ION straight" or at least
calls for some supplement. For ex-
ample, when he speaks of the early
sculptor who. in the dim regions of
the catacombs, modelled Him (Jesus)
as a Fish carrying a basket of bread
through the waters with all
reverence and love-" it perhaps needs
the archRologist to explain to the
lay reader that the very early use of
the fish as q symbol of the Christ
was due to no loftier concept than
talismanic magic; as the letters of
the Greek word for fish, Ichthus,
came to stand for Jesus Christ,

Theou 'sios, Sofer). Nor, to cite a
more modern instance, will the crit

admit the validity OF Lord Acton's
remark that "Lingard has never
been proved wrong" Only a few
months ago Mr.. Chamberlain's study
of Queen Elizabeth managed to find
considerable fault with Lingard as
a historian.
But these, after all, are very small
matters compared to the real values
of Prof. Shuster's book. A more
serious difficulty arises from his
apparent tendency to confuse agnos-
ticism with atheism and to regard
