Product Description
•••••
None Other Gods depicts the story of Frank Guiseley, a young man who abandons his Cambridge degree to "go to the roads" of England. Even as the novelty of his roaming ways wears off, Frank discovers that his renunciation of the world and its wealth has inspired him with a new and inexplicable sense of purpose and calm. Frank, who converted to Catholicism while at Cambridge, goes through the transformational transformations of grace—what Benson refers to as "purgation, illumination, and union" in the novel's Dedication.
None Other Gods fits among works like Chesterton's Manalive, as Benson shows a life that defies all expectations and culminates in the ultimate sacrifice of love.
“Here, in what is supposed by the world to be the narrow constraint of religion, was a liberty and an outlook into realities such as the open road and nature can but seldom give.”
