Catherine Nixey: The Darkening Age [2018] paperback Condition:New A posthumous and definitive collectionIn The Darkening Age, Catherine Nixey tells the little known and deeply shocking story of how a militant religion deliberately tried to extinguish the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in unquestioning adherence to the 'one true faith'.
