Robert Butterworth, Roehampton Institute, London Network, (Journal Of The Catholic Women's Network) Product Description Maude Petre (18641942) was an English woman who is best known for her involvement in the movement known as Roman Catholic Modernism, and particularly for her role as literary executor for the wellknown 'modernist,' George Tyrrell. However, this is only part of Maude Petre's story. She herself wrote a number of books and articles on religious and political topics. She worked out her own theology and spirituality at a time when few Catholic lay women engaged in theological discourse. This work is an account of a spiritual journey and of the theology and spirituality that were developed on that journey.
