Robert Charles Asch (born 1968) is an English Catholic writer, literary critic, and scholar.
Early life
Robert Asch was born in London in 1968, into a family of mixed Canadian- and Austrian Jewish descent. His parents were both opera singers.[1] He was educated at St Paul's School and the University of Toronto.
Career
Along with Joseph Pearce, Asch has been co-editor of the St. Austin Review, a Catholic cultural and literary magazine, since September 2001. He is also the Editor of Saint Austin Press.[1]
Asch was Senior Master and teacher of English and History at Chavagnes International College, France, from its inception in 2002 till 2012.[1] He was recently awarded a Wilbur Research Fellowship at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal for his work towards a new study of the English poet Lionel Johnson.
In July 2022, Asch appeared as a speaker at the 41st Annual Conference of the American Chesterton Society in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Asch's lecture was titled "Chesterton and the Jews".[2]
Personal life
Asch is married to the poet Ruth Tyldesley Asch. After several years of living in the post-Velvet Revolution Czech Republic, Asch converted from Reform Judaism to Roman Catholicism, which he has called, "a completion" instead of a rejection of the Jewish religion, in 1996. Asch currently resides with his wife and children at Preston, Lancashire.[1]
