The New Statesman - 1921; Blackfriars - Blackfriars - vol II. April 1921-March 1922; 'This penetrating study of Dante's mystical life deserves a wide welcome, not only from all lovers of Dante and of literature, but also and especially from all who would learn something of the secrets of Catholic though and action. It claims to expound the springs of motive and desire which animated and inspired the treasures of literatures bequeathed by Dante to Christendom. [...] According to the author, the romance recorded in the Vita nuova, in the Odes, and in the Dante cycle was not of human love, but of divine. [...] and careful study of the poet's writings will reveal, in the opinion of Miss Kavanagh, numerous passages which are incompatible with a tale o human love'.; The Fortnightly Review - 1922
