Paul Claudel: The Poet as Believer

Transpositions has posted an interesting review of Aidan Nichols' The Poet as Believer: A Theological Study of Paul Claudel.

Claudel was a central figure in the French Catholic Revival and is 'a poet frequently cited by literary-minded theologians in Europe and theologically-minded poets (such as von Balthasar, de Lubac and Eliot).' 'His work, which continues to arouse discussion in France, was acclaimed in his lifetime as the 'summa poetica' of a new Dante.'
