Description: Melanie McDonagh examines the lives of some notable converts from the perspective of their faith. For the Decadent circle of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde - who converted on his deathbed - to artists such as Gwen John and David Jones, the philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and novelists including G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Muriel Spark, Catholicism offered stability in increasingly febrile times. McDonagh explores their lives and influences, the reaction to their conversions, and the priests who initiated them into their faith.
