| Publisher Description: Hilaire Belloc is one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. At turns reviled or revered, depending on the audience, he was a razor sharp social commenter and a master of both poetry and prose, who continues to captivate readers. In "Old Thunder," Joseph Pearce examines Belloc's enduring impact on British intellectual life. |
