Poet, sailor, Grizzlebeard: Wilhelmsen takes these three figures from Belloc’s own work as keys to the man. His study argues that Belloc embodied an integrated Christian humanism, examining his poetry and love of the sea, his Catholic reading of history against Whig and Enlightenment historians, and his vision of a whole human life.
