Dreams and Images - An Anthology of Catholic Poets
by Bryce WaltonThis is not a collection of devotional poems. It is not an attempt to rival Orby Shipley’s admirable “Carmina Mariana” or any other similar anthology. What I have tried to do is to bring together the poems in English that I like best that were written by Catholics since the middle of the Nineteenth Century.

Ploughshare and Pruning-Hook - Ten Lectures on Social Subjects
by Laurence HousmanThese papers, originally given as lectures, make no pretence to the solution of the social or political problems with which they are concerned.
