Author and speaker Joseph Pearce will speak on “The Catholic Literary Revival” at the annual IHM Homeschooling conference in Dayton. Presentations are free and open to the public; you do not have to be a parent or homeschooler to attend. In this talk Pearce will discuss how 300 years of persecution against the Catholic Church in England ended with an early 20th-centural revival of the Catholic intellectual tradition that included literary masters Hopkins, Chesterton, Belloc, Waugh, Tolkien, and many others. Dr. Kevin Vost, Dr. Catherine Moran and Professor Pearce will speak both Friday and Saturday; see link for schedule.
