About the author
Bernard Wall was an English author, publisher, and translator who lived from 1908 to 1974. Sources describe him as active in the Catholic intellectual world for many years, and note that he studied at Stonyhurst, Oxford, and the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.
He wrote fiction as well as essays and journalism, and he also worked to introduce continental European thought to English readers through translation and publishing. He was associated with several Catholic periodicals and cultural ventures, which helped make him a recognizable figure in mid-20th-century Catholic literary life.
Wall was married to the novelist Barbara Wall, who wrote under her maiden name, Barbara Lucas. Together they were linked with Catholic peace and cultural movements, giving his career a public role that went beyond his own books.
