Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
To many the name of George Tyrrell is so familiar that any account of his life may seem superfluous to many, but not to all. Furthermore, the years of stress through which the world has lately passed have dulled the memory of many events that stood out conspicuously in times when thought was not at a discount and action all that signified. The story of theM odernist movement was hardly ended before the Great War began ;a crisis during which deeper and more abiding interests were inevitably suspended in favour of questions materially urgent and imperative. But even were Modernism generally remembered, Modernism is far from being all in the life ofT yrrell. Indeed it may be said that Modernism did a certain amount of injustice to his memory, in so far as it overshadowed other sides of his work and his character. He was aM odernist, and he gave a portion of his life to the prosecution of that movement; but he was other things besides he was a man of unusual spiritual insight; of moral acumen ;of keen human sympathy and psychological skill; of literary power and perception ;of abounding humour and fun. He had been a missioner and a confessor before he was a writer; he was the friend of many for whom his orthodoxy or unorthodoxy had little importance.
