About this ebook

There passes before us a drama of modern life and pleasure, of glorious youth and love, of tragedy and triumph, of human nature at its worst and best in the challenging personalities of Julian Verrers and the Masterful Monk.

Originally published in 1929, The Masterful Monk by English author Owen Francis Dudley was the third of a series of six volumes dealing with problems of human happiness.

The first book, Will Men be like Gods?, was an answer to the slanderers of Religion; the second, The Shadow on the Earth, to the slanderers of God. In The Masterful Monk, Dudley endeavours “to meet the modern attack upon Man and his moral nature launched by those who would degrade him to the level of an animal.”

Owen Francis Dudley

Owen Francis Dudley (1882-1952) was an English Catholic priest who gained fame both as a world lecturer and as a novelist. Dudley became an Anglican minister in 1911 and was received into the Catholic Church in 1915. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1917 and became a chaplain in the British Army. Dudley saw service on the French and Italian fronts during World War I and was wounded. After the war he was active in the Catholic Missionary Society (a society of Catholic priests) and was elected the Superior General of the Catholic Missionary Society of England in 1933. Dudley’s published novels include The Masterful Monk (1929), Pageant of Life (1932), The Coming of the Monster (1936), The Tremaynes and the Masterful Monk (1940), Michael (1948), and Last crescendo (1954), which was published posthumously. In addition to his novels, he penned some nonfiction works, including Will Men Be Like Gods?: Humanitarianism or Human Happiness? (1932), Human Happiness and H.G. Wells (1936), The Church Unconquerable (1936), You and Thousands Like You” (1949), and ‘What I Found’—An Ex-Anglican’s Conversion Story (1949). Dudley died in 1952.
