About this book
Our Catholic Heritage in English Literature of Pre-Conquest Days is a book by Emily Henrietta Hickey. A dedication inscribes the little book to the Lord Archbishop of Westminster. The Chapter I heading lists, among others, The beginnings of Literature in England and The story of Caedmon's gift of song. The author says the Catholic Church is the source of fine literature, of true art, as of noble speech and noble deed.
Valour, generosity and loyalty are named as found, for instance, in the poem Béowulf. Cynewulf is called one of the poets of the Cross. The poem known as Elene is named after the heroine of the finding, St Helena.
