Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Romanticism of St. Francis: And Other Studies in the Genius of the Franciscans
Franciscan history. To many people St. Francis is a mediaeval prophet with a spiritual message for our own day. The question arises: What is the mes sage which he brought to the world when he set up his standard of poverty in the Umbrian plain? Until we know that we cannot tell whether or how far his message is of immediate value at this present time.
