A series of essays of Catholic scholars which attempts to evaluate the "great books" from a Christian point of view. A short, selected bibliography follows each essay. For the reader confused by the overwhelming array of philosophies and theologies contained in these works, this is a "handy, illuminating, and in a real sense, necessary vade mecum" (Thought, XXIV [June, 1949], p. 356). No indexes.
