I'd never heard of Christopher Dawson, what you recommend to read for a beginner?

Hi Christie. For me it'd be the website of The Imaginative Conservative. Many fantastic essays on Dawson there. This one, for instance, by Bradley Birzer (who writes a lot about Dawson) is a beauty -

I've just finished Perelandra by the way. I've known of the book for decades, of course, and had an awareness of the plot, etc, but for some reason I'd never actually read it.

What can I say? What a book! Incredible! Should have won the Nobel Prize!

To me the most interesting passage that T S Eliot wrote was the brief section in The Waste Land titled What (Da) the Thunder Said.

The author of the references below IS The Divine Thunder.

Please find some references which are very much about Reality, Truth & The Beautiful Itself.

And death too. Why death? Because the Christian tradition does not even begin to take death-as-the-constant-message-of-life into account. Nor does it really even begin to take The Feminine Principle into account - She Shakti The Goddess
