Description
In scope and in vision Dawson's conception of history ranks with the work of men like Spengler, Northrop, and Toynbee. This classic Dawson work is a conspectus of his thought on universal history in all its depth and range. Containing thirty-one essays selected from his writings it gives a clear and fascinating picture of his achievement in helping to widen our perspective of world history and in identifying the central determinative importance of religion for the formation of culture.

Harvard professor Dawson (1889-1970) was a major Catholic historian. His 1958 tome has fallen out of favor among historians at least partly because of its emphasis on the role of religion and spirituality in shaping and sustaining civilizations.
