<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this detailed and provocative study, Francis Bethel examines the life and thought of highly influential cultural critic, university professor, and sometime cowboy, John Senior (1923-1999). A former favored student in the 1940s of Columbia professor and literary critic Mark Van Doren, Senior would later author works of cultural criticism, including the controversial <em>The Death of Christian Culture.</em> Yet far greater was Senior's influence as a teacher and mentor in the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas. Senior championed the full "restoration of realism," in which would be brought together the whole man-senses, imagination, emotion, will, intellect, and body. This biography is only one ever written on this important cultural figure of twentieth-century and is therefore essential reading.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> "<em>John Senior and the Restoration of Realism</em> is a book that should be in the hands of every educator and parent. It is all about education-and to educate, as Plato already saw twenty-five centuries ago, is a task of such dignity that only the very best are good enough. We must be grateful to Father Francis Bethel for writing a life of this noble Don Quixote whose love of beauty led him to the One Who Is Truth, Beauty, and Goodness."</p><p>-Alice von Hildebrand, Dame Grand Cross of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great and author of <em>Memoirs of a Happy Failure</em></p><p><br></p><p>"John Senior was the teacher modernity desperately needed-and needs. His learning, wisdom, faith, and eloquence supplied the essential corrective to our era's withered soul and imagination. In this intellectual biography, Father Bethel effectively restores Senior to us and makes us see again both the man and the poetic reality he grasped so firmly."</p>-David M. Whalen, provost and professor of English, Hillsdale College</p><p><br></p><br>
