  • The Four Men

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    A "Farrago" is a "confused mixture," an apt subtitle for this 1911 semi-fictional travelogue and love song to Hilaire Belloc's home County of Sussex. It is full to bursting with humor, songs (often including scores), speeches, drawings, fables, digressions, poetry, and legends, often partially or wholly invented, but all in service of Belloc's deep belief in "the character of enduring things. ...

  • The French Revolution

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    The object of these few pages is not to recount once more the history of the Revolution: that can be followed in any one of a hundred text-books. Their object is rather to lay, if that be possible, an explanation of it before the English reader; so that he may understand both what it was and how it proceeded, and also why certain problems hitherto unfamiliar to Englishmen have risen out of it. ...

  • The Last Days of the French Monarchy

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    Upon the crest of the steep and thickly wooded hills that rise from the left bank of the Seine below Paris, you may find a village, the old stones of which, and something spacious in its whole arrangement, are consonant with its name. It is called “Marly of the King.” There the great trees, the balustrade, and gates still standing recall the palace to which the French monarchy retired when leisure ... Read more

  • The Book of the Bayeux Tapestry: Presenting the Complete Work in a Series of Colour Facsimiles

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    At Bayeux in Normandy, a little town as old perhaps as our race and older certainly than our records and our religion, there is to be seen in the main room of what was once the Bishop’s Palace a document unique in Europe. There is no other example, I think, of a record, contemporary or nearly contemporary, of an event so remote in the story of Christendom, detailed upon so considerable a scale and ... Read more

  • Characters of the Reformation

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    Hilaire Belloc’s landmark study Characters of the Reformation argues that Western Europe’s break from the Catholic Church was driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European noblemen.
