About this product
Product Information
The definitive edition of Catholic Worker cofounder Peter Maurin's Easy Essays, including 74 previously unpublished works Although Peter Maurin is wellknown among people connected to the Catholic Worker movement, his Catholic Worker co-founder and mentee Dorothy Day largely overshadowed him. Maurin was never the charismatic leader that Day was, and some Workers found his idiosyncrasies challenging. Reticent to write or even speak much about his personal life, Maurin preferred to present his beliefs and ideas in the form of Easy Essays, published in the New York Catholic Worker . Featuring 485 of his essays, as well as seventy-four previously unpublished ones, this text offers a great contribution to the corpus of twentieth-century Catholic life. At first glance, Maurin's Easy Essays appear overly simplistic and preposterous. But upon further investigation, his essays are much more complex and nuanced. Packed with demanding ideas meant to convey dense information and encourage the listener to ponder different ways to understand and interact with reality, his short poetic phrases became his modus operandi for communicating his vision and became a hallmark of his public theology. Each essay contained anywhere from one to ten or more stanzas and were part of a larger arrangement, often titled. Within it were individual essays, which were also titled, and arranged in such a manner as to support the overall thesis. Many individual essays were later repeated in slightly altered forms in new arrangements. Previous arrangements were also repeated that omitted or added an essay. Providing scholarly and contextual information for the modern reader, this annotated collection includes over five hundred footnotes that offer a layer of intelligibility that explain Maurin's use of obscure references to historical people and events that would have been common knowledge for readers during the 1930s. When appropriate, the footnotes explain why Maurin chose to cite a person or event. A scholarly introduction offers a robust synthesis of contemporary scholarship on Maurin and the Catholic Worker, which considers radical Catholicism and questions regarding race, ethnicity, religious difference, and gender, since many of Maurin's essays take up these themes. Peter Maurin's Easy Essays shapes the ways Maurin is read in present day and the ways leftist Catholicism is understood as part of 20thcentury history.

Dorothy Day used to refer to Peter Maurin-her mentor and muse as the 'St. Francis of modern times.' Lincoln Rice's impeccably annotated collection of 'easy essays' elevates Maurin's unique, pithy pearls of wisdom, which are in many ways classic texts of the twentieth-century Catholic Left. As co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, Maurin was a prophetic bard of the 'Green Revolution,' which he saw as a necessary antidote to estrangement of modern industrial society. Peter Maurin's insights were biting, earnest, witty, and provocative-fodder for the Worker's vocation as the 'dynamite of the Church' that both comforted the vulnerable and afflicted the powerful in equal measure. This volume both captures the transformative vision of Maurin's thought, and locates it within the context of modern radicalism's historical atmosphere., Dorothy Day used to refer to Peter Maurin-her mentor and muse as the 'St. Francis of modern times.'

This volume both captures the transformative vision of Maurin's thought, and locates it within the context of modern radicalism's historical atmosphere. ---Jack Lee Downey, University of Rochester, Without Peter Maurin, there would be no Catholic Worker movement. His meeting and teaching Dorothy Day gave her the spiritual and intellectual grounding in Catholicism that she needed and together they began the movement that continues to challenge us. In The Forgotten Radical Peter Maurin , Lincoln Rice has compiled the definitive version of Maurin's 'Easy Essays,' showing both the scholar and the general reader how Maurin's words have relevance as we navigate the perils of the twenty-first century. ---Rosalie Riegle, author of Dorothy Day: Portraits by Those Who Knew Her, Rather than dismissing the Easy Essays as too sketchy and oversimplified, Rice's painstaking effort invites us to examine, test, and expand Maurin's thought and example. That's an invitation we ought to accept.
