A. N. Wilson presents Belloc as a man of fierce Catholic conviction, boundless energy, and volcanic contradictions — poet, polemicist, historian, MP, and friend of G. K. Chesterton. With sharp psychological insight and elegant prose, Wilson uncovers the private turbulence beneath Belloc's public bravado, tracing his Franco-English roots, his passionate faith, and his battles with the literary and political establishments of his day. The result is an authoritative and humanising portrait of a writer too long overshadowed by his own legend, written with the wit and critical acuity that Wilson himself would become celebrated for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888026726619,"sku":"2026200007027-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/85bdd1e7-0184-41d5-8404-570e37e1ce5f.png?v=1781753145","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007027-secondhand-hilaire-belloc-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
