The book ''Patrick Shaw-Stewart'' by Ronald Knox is a biography of the titular figure, who was a prominent British poet and scholar in the early 20th century. The book traces Shaw-Stewart’s life from his childhood in Scotland to his education at Oxford, where he became a member of the famous literary group, the Oxford Apostles.
