Frances Richardson | 139 comments Thanks so much, Elisabeth. I’ve decided to listen to the book at librivox. Evelyn Waugh wrote an excellent biography of Edmund Campion, and it will be very interesting to see the correspondence between it and Benson’s book. And then, I think someone mentioned Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel. Benson’s work should challenge the anti-Catholic perspective in those two novels.

Again, thank you!
