A Catholic Mind Awake

Auteur

BERNARD KELLY (1907-1958) was an English Catholic layman who worked in a bank, raised a large family, and regularly penned, over 25 years, philosophical essays and book reviews for the Dominican journal Blackfriars, almost all of which is included in this new collection. His friendship with foremost British Thomists and leading distributists of his day, and with the Indian scholar Ananda Coomaraswamy-along with his love for the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins-permitted his short life to become the matrix of a rich body of writings.
