Friendship has been apparent in our culture as a concern ever since the time of the Greeks. Today it is often ignored or taken for granted.

The Catholic Imagination in Modern American Poetry

Ruth Lake Country Club 6200 South Madison Street, Hinsdale, IL

James Matthew Wilson, University of Saint Thomas, Houston

Part of our Western Suburban Catholic Culture Series. This event will be live streamed on Zoom. At the turn of the twentieth century, the American Historian Henry Adams wrote admiringly of the Catholic mind as it found expression in the medieval world. It was beautiful, it was good, but, alas, could not be true. Within a generation, younger American writers were impelled by that same beauty but dared to ask whether they might be equally impelled by the Catholic vision of the world as true. Thus began a great literary adventure, as American poets entered into the Catholic tradition and sought...

Master Class on T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets”

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St., Chicago, IL

James Matthew Wilson, University of Saint Thomas, Houston

A master class with poet and professor James Matthew Wilson (University of St. Thomas, Houston). Open to current graduate students, faculty, and advanced University of Chicago undergraduate students. Others interested in participating should contact us. Registrants will receive copies of the prepared reading. Generally regarded as the greatest poem of the twentieth century, T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets is not only an important poem but a masterful modern contribution to the long Christian-Platonist tradition of the West. It is at once a work of art and a suggestive vision of Christian humanist metaphysics, ethics, and mystical theology, one to which perhaps only Dante's Divine...
