Edited by Dale Ahlquist. 2003. I think it is odd and strange that I don’t remember hearing about one of the most important battles in the history of the world until I started studying Catholicism. The battle took place October 7, 1571south of the Greek town of Lepanto where the Christian Holy League defeated Selim II and his Islamic forces and kept them from invading Venice and Rome. A Moslem victory could have led to the collapse of Christian Europe. Chesterton’s poem recalls this battle in an exciting poem. It is a relatively short, very readable poem. Detailed notes are included along with several essays. ( ) Merkwaardige uitgave van het gedicht Lepanto van Chesterton. Het gedicht telt 147 regels, oftewel 7 bladzijden. De rest van de 123 bladzijden van dit boekje bestaat uit, en ik weeg mijn woorden, katholieke propaganda, kort samen te vatten met de trefwoorden: protestanten slecht, moslims heel slecht, paus goed, Maria heel goed, kruistochten in orde. O ja, er zijn ook nog een paar noten. Het gedicht zelf is een beetje dreunend, maar verre van onaardig. Leuk om luidop te declameren, lijkt me zo. Ik ga het bij gelegenheid eens proberen. Maar één van de beste Engelstalige gedichten, zoals de inleiding ons verzekert, is het natuurlijk niet. My father gave this to me for my birthday (what a guy!), and I quickly settled down to read the poem aloud to my younger brother. How delighted I was with a poem that was actually a *poem*-- with rhythm and rhyme and an actual point! Fans of history, real poetry, and good ol' GK Chesterton will enjoy this delighful little volume. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Edited by Dale Ahlquist Hilaire Belloc called "Lepanto" Chesterton's greatest poem and the greatest poem of his generation. But not only have English classes neglected this masterpiece of rhyme and meter, History classes have neglected the story of the pivotal battle upon which the poem is based. This book brings together the poem, the historical background of the famous battle, a riveting account of the battle itself, and a discussion of its historical consequences. The poem is fully annotated, and is supplemented with two interesting essays by Chesterton himself. Well-known Chesterton expert, Dale Ahlquist, has gathered together all the insightful commentaries and explanatory notes. Here is the story behind the modern conflict between Christianity and Islam, between Protestant and Catholic Europe, and the origin of the Feast of the Holy Rosary. A fascinating blend of literature, history, religion and romance!
