for the University Bookman. Papist polemics, monks with painted eyelids, \u201capostolic viragoes\u201d and more!<\/p>\n

You might expect a book called The English Way: Studies in English Sanctity from Bede to Newman<\/em>, compiled under the reign of King George V, to rustle through the fingers like a necklace of finely-wrought gold. You might expect serenity, monumentality, harmony: a peaceable parade of right little, tight little saints.<\/p>\n

You might expect that, anyway, if you don\u2019t remember much about English history. The English Way<\/em>, ed. Maisie Ward, is a beautiful book; but its beauties shine amid chaos and catastrophe.
