Hilaire Belloc
(redirected from Hillaire Belloc)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Belloc, Hilaire 

Born July 27, 1870, in St.-Cloud, France; died July 16, 1953, in Guildford. British writer.

Belloc is the author of novels (such as Mr. Burden, 1904), sketches (such as On Nothing, 1908; On Everything, 1909; On Something, 1910), short stories, travel notes, poems, and also historical works. In Belloc’s literary works there is a powerful satirical aspect; however, his criticism of capitalistic industrialization and corruption is accompanied by attacks on socialism as well, and in his searchings for an ideal social order he turned to the Middle Ages.

In 1938, Hillaire Belloc described what he called "the Modern Attack," which, even seventy years ago, he clearly saw advancing upon the Church and society.
Examples include Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, the essayist Hillaire Belloc, the novelists Lawrence Durrell, D.
The Book of Virtues is surprisingly diverse in its readings--sources range from the obvious (stories from the Old and New Testaments, children's verse by Hillaire Belloc, tales by Aesop and the Brothers Grimm) to the unexpected (African and American-Indian folk tales, writings by and about Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, a testimonial by Babe Ruth).
