The Catholic Spirit in Modern English Literature (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

In this 1922 study of the Catholic revival in literature Shuster, a distinguished author and editor on Catholic, social, and political themes, considers the works of Cardinal Newman, John Ruskin, Walter Pater, G. K. Chesteron, Hillaire Belloc, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Christina Rossetti, Francis Thompson, and several Irish writers, among others—while deeming most American Catholic fiction unreadable.
