His mother Elizabeth Rayner Parkes (1829-1925) was also a writer, and a great-granddaughter of the English chemist Joseph Priestley . She married attorney Louis Belloc in 1867. In 1872, five years after they wed, Louis died, but not before being wiped out financially in a stock market crash. The young widow then brought her son Hilaire, along with his sister, Marie , back to England where he remained, except for his voluntary enlistment as a young man in the French artillery.

New Poets HILAIRE BELLOC Hilaire Belloc was born in 1870 in a village a dozen miles from Paris a few days before the start of the Franco-Prussian war. Because of the war, he and his sister were taken to England and when the family returned to their home at the end of the war, they found it utterly vandalised by the occupying German troops. This in some measure, explains his life-long hostility to all things German. He returned to England and was educated at the Oratory School Birmingham, under Cardinal Newman, and later at Balliol College, Oxford, but before Balliol he went back to France to honour what he saw as an obligation to do his military service there, though he was not legally required to. His experience in the artillery influenced him strongly and, like another of his great loves, the sea, never seems far from his mind in his writings. At Oxford, Belloc was famed both for brilliance in debate and high energy. He became President of the Oxford Union, but, probably because of his decided, and not always, fashionable views, failed to be elected a don after graduating, and this remained a permanent disappointment and a grievance for him. His first book was a small volume of verse, published in 1896, and from then on a torrent of books, pamphlets, letters etc. poured from his pen. It astonishes, not only in its bulk but in its diversity; French and British history, military strategy, satire, comic and serious verse, literary criticism, topography and travel, translations, religious, social and political commentary, long-running controversies with such opponents as H.G. wells and Dr. G.G. Coulton, and hundreds of essays, fill over one hundred and fifty volumes. It is little wonder that A.P. Herbert described him as "the man who wrote a library".

4. Seattle Catholic - A Reader's Guide To Hilaire Belloc Hilaire Belloc, who lived from 18701953, and wrote during most of those years, epitomized the word prolific. Roughly 150 titles are attributed to him, http://www.seattlecatholic.com/article_20050208.html

Seattle Catholic is not affiliated with the Archdiocese of Seattle A Journal of Catholic News and Views 8 Feb 2005 A Reader's Guide to Hilaire Belloc by Matthew M. Anger Apologetics For Catholic readers, Belloc is probably best known for works of religious controversy. This is no doubt because of the renewed interest in older apologetic literature and the fact that a number of Belloc's religious works have been reprinted in paperback by TAN Books. This genre represents an important dimension of his literary skill but by no means the only one. One should be aware that Belloc tended to recycle a lot of his material, as he was almost continually engaged in debates and defense of Catholic views during the 1920s and '30s. This makes for some repetition, and a sampling of his considerable output in this department will suffice. Essays of A Catholic and Survivals and New Arrivals are probably the most insightful. In them he reveals his brillianace as an analyst and systematizer. He could point out trends, both past and future, that eluded most people. Even today, people are amazed at the frequently prophetic passages found throughout his apologetic works. There is, for example, the following passage on Islam in The Great Heresies [T]he recrudescence of Islam, the possibility of that terror under which we lived for centuries reappearing, and of our civilization again fighting for its life against what was its chief enemy for a thousand years, seems fantastic. Who in the Mohammedan world today can manufacture and maintain the complicated instruments of modern war? Where is the political machinery whereby the religion of Islam can play an equal part in the modern world?

Thank you. Friday, December 21, 2007 Ron Paul and Hilaire Belloc The Democratic Party is jubilant just now because, among other things, they are awash in cash. The millions of dollars in corporate cash that flowed to the Republican Party during the heyday of Karl Rove is now flowing to the Democrats. Now, it is just possible that Corporate America has experienced a mass conversion, a change of heart than has resulted a change of contributions. None of this is news, of course. Hilaire Belloc and Cecil Chesterton noted all these problems as far back as 1911 in their book, The Party System IHS Press will issue a new edition of The Party System with a foreword by Ron Paul. This is appropriate, since Congressman Paul does not quite fit into the standard political categories dictated by the two-party system. Actually, few of us do, but all of us find ourselves forced to hold our noses and vote, usually for the best of a bad lot. But Ron Paul has chosen the deliberate path of the rebel, much as Belloc and Chesterton did.

Introduction Hilaire Belloc, Son of the Shrine of Our lady of Consolation Shrine History Pilgrimages Contact and Directions Home ... Bl. Francis Bell Hilaire Belloc Hilaire Belloc, the son of Louis Belloc, a barrister of Basque origin, was born in St. Cloud near Paris in 1870. His mother was Elizabeth Rayner Parkes, the daughter of the radical, Joseph Parkes, a Birmingham MP and locksmith by trade. Although she was converted to the Catholic faith from Unitarianism, she remained a political radical and was a strong supporter of women's rights. The family moved to London in 1892 when Belloc's father died; and six years later his mother moved the young Belloc and his sister Marie from their London home to live in Slindon in West Sussex. The family rented Slindon Cottage, now known as the Dower House, then moved to Newlands, which they renamed The Grange. After being educated at the Oratory School, Birmingham, Belloc served in the French Army. He returned to England in 1892 and became a student at Balliol College, Oxford. He graduated with a first class honours degree but was disappointed when he was not offered a Fellowship. Convinced that he had been rejected because of his Catholic religious views, he went on a lecture tour of the United States. There he had two books of verse published: A Bad Child's Book of Beasts (1896) and Verses and Sonnets (1896). Belloc returned to England and in 1902 became a naturalized British subject. A member of the Fabian Society, Belloc became friends with George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells, who helped him obtain work with newspapers such as the Daily News and The Speaker. In due course he became literary editor of the Morning Post.

13. Hilaire Belloc: Defender Of The Faith Lengthy essay on belloc as an apologist, by the late Frederick D. Wilhelmsen. http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/apologetics/ap0035.html

Home Email This Article Print Hilaire Belloc: Defender of the Faith FREDERICK D. WILHELMSEN Had we had ten Hilaire Bellocs in the English-speaking Catholic world in the past fifty years, we might have converted the whole kit-and-caboodle and avoided the mess we find ourselves in today. Hilaire Belloc, coupled in memory always with his great friend G. K. Chesterton, made the defence of the Faith the main business of his life. He wielded a mighty sword. Hillaire Belloc With that impossible declaration behind me, I might better begin with a story told about him — he was a man who collected myths about his person, and I cannot verify the truth of this. Upon being honored with a papal decoration well into his old age, Belloc refused to put out the money needed to buy the medal and grumbled: “What would they say if I changed my mind?” Hilaire Belloc was not built to fit any cloth fashioned by mortal man. Although he often groused about his own age (I do not mean his chronological age — he always complained about that! — but his moment in time), Belloc would have been impossible in any other age. Growing up as he did, in the twilight of the reign of Queen Victoria, blinking brilliantly in nonsense verse and radical politics in the time of King Edward VII, a child prodigy called by his aunt “Old Thunder”, Hilaire Belloc reposed upon a broad upper-middle-class English society that read him, first adored him, then good-naturedly put up with him, and finally isolated him. “I was once welcome in that house”, he commented wistfully when the automobile in which he was driving passed the home of an exceedingly rich man. His intransigent defense of all things Catholic first amused a literate and basically skeptical gentry looking for novelty; then offended; finally, it was considered intolerable.

Many generations hence there will be a broad stream of tradition and document to show that Englishmen in the nineteenth century did not eat human flesh, but I am sure that if Dr. Coulton were on the other side he would triumphantly quote the shipwrecked mariners of the Mignonette and continue to say that the Victorians were cannibals.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) Hillaire Belloc ca. 1950 JOSEPH HILAIRE PIERRE BELLOC, ONE OF THE TRUE LORDS of the English language, was not an Englishman by birth. His father was French, his mother was Irish; and when he married, his bride was an American. But he looked more like the traditional figure of John Bull than any Englishman could. He wore a stand-up collar several sizes too large for him. His rotund head was crowned with a black hat-sometimes tall, sometimes of the pancake variety. He was big and stocky and red of face, and a typically British great-coat draped his beefy form except in the warmest weather. Hilaire Belloc-he dropped the other appendages at an early age-was born at La Celle, near Paris, on July 20, 1870. His father, Louis Swanton Belloc, was well known as a barrister throughout France. Bessie Rayner Belloc, his mother, was of Irish extraction. Somewhere in his immediate background was an infusion of Pennsylvania Dutch blood. His mother, who lived into her nineties and died in 1914, was a remarkably intellectual woman, noted as one of the signers of the first petition ever presented for women's suffrage. Her son studied at the Oratory School at Edgebaston, England, and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1893. In his third year he was Blackenbury History Scholar and an honor student in the history schools.
