Francis X. Talbot
... that Francis X. Talbot was one of the early leaders of the mid-20th century Catholic literary revival in the United States?Source: "Three of the earliest leaders of the revival—Jesuits Francis X. Talbot, literary editor of America, Daniel A. Lord, national director of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin and editor of its organ, the Queen's Work, and Calvert Alexander, whose The Catholic Literary Revival (1935) stood as the era's most substantive analysis of the international Catholic literary movement—all revealed qualities of intellectual insecurity, opposition, and Christian vision." (To Promote, Defend, and Redeem: The Catholic Literary Revival and the Cultural Transformation of American Catholicism, 1920–1960, p. 17)

Interesting life on good sources, subscription source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I am not enthusiastic about the hook, - some readers may say "who cares?". Anything else? Fighting bias in the Britannica perhaps? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:45, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

... that Francis X. Talbot reviewed the Encyclopædia Britannica to reduce anti-Catholic bias?Source: "This led to a program of revision with a view to making the Encyclopædia more acceptable to Catholics, a work which still goes on." - @Gerda Arendt: Added an alt hook, although I don't think it's more significant that the original hook.

- I moved ALT1 down, to not confuse others about what was added when, and agree, - that shoirt it's not significant. The fact is too lttlefor a name with which we combine nothing, not American, not Jesuit. So let's look at the other once more: the long phrase of what he was one of th early leaders (already clumsy enough) is plain boring for me who - I confess - had never heard of that revival. Is there a link? What can we shorten? Do we even need any time? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:25, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- I suppose mid-20th century could be removed. Ergo Sum 15:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- ... and/or Catholic literary revival could be linked, but only if expanded a bit, and his name would be there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- I don’t know we had an article on that! Excellent. I’ll add Talbot to it. Ergo Sum 21:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

- @Gerda Arendt: I've added a mention of Talbot at Catholic literary revival. Ergo Sum 15:41, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, I like it. If a prep builder wants a time range, please add that from the original. - You, feel to expand that revival article, - it's not much yet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:52, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
