🪦#DorothyDay died today in 1980. Here's a free article exploring the extent to which she was influenced by #LeoTolstoy: https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Leo_Tolstoy_s_impact_on_Dorothy_Day_and_the_Catholic_worker_movement/13667594 #anarchism #pacifism #anticlericalism
Short summary: Day frequently mentioned Tolstoy, but almost only his #fiction. Paper explores extent of Tolstoy’s influence beyond just fiction based on close reading of #archivalsources. Demonstrates Tolstoy’s #political & #religious views did leave significant impression on Day & #CatholicWorkerMovement. Notably: D had early (if discreet) passion for T; T’s helped cement D’s #anarchism & #pacifism, & T (through #Hennacy) helped inspire CW’s embrace of #civildisobedience
