About the author
Born in 1908, Bernard Wall became known as an English Catholic intellectual, journalist, and translator. He worked across several forms — essays, books, editing, and translation — and was part of a circle of writers interested in religion, culture, and European thought.
He is especially remembered for helping found The Catholic Worker with Barbara Lucas, whom he later married, and for launching Colosseum in 1934. Though Colosseum was short-lived, it drew attention among religious and literary readers, and Wall became associated with a strongly argued Christian humanist voice in the years between the world wars.
Wall also translated major Catholic thinkers, including Jacques Maritain, and wrote books on travel, art, and the Church. He died in London in 1974. A suitable portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
