This biography explores the life and work of Christopher Dawson (1889-1970), an influential English historian of culture. Dawson, an independent scholar, authored over twenty books and developed a distinctive historical approach by integrating insights from anthropology and the concept of culture as a way of life. His work critically examined contemporary society through the lens of the deep connection between religion and culture across history. Dawson believed in the transformative power of ideas, particularly within the Catholic intellectual tradition.
