Product Description

These works have long suffered neglect as literature because the scholarly world has been preoccupied with commentary upon their historical, social, philological and religious content. Emphasis is on the artistic value and interest of Middle English literature, and its significance to the understanding of more recent writings. ... Read more

Product Description
1931. What the author has tried to do in this book is to select from out of the mass of material a few specimens, as who, randomly diving into an ocean, should return with a handful or two of seaweed or of pebbles, and to proceed to make thereon a scattered kind of a commentary. The theory was that most religious literature was the outcome of some king of a clash or conflict, and bore stamped on it the nature of this conflict, and the fusion, victory or defeat which had been its outcome. ...

Product Description
James I and the Religious Culture of England is a study of King James's influence, both direct and indirect, on various aspects of religious life in England during his reign; James emerges as more interested in religious matters than in any other aspect of English culture. It brings together literary, religious and political history to consider such topics as the poetic response to James's accession, prophetic poetry at court, the neo-Latin religious epigram, the politics of conversion, and the biblical iconography of peace-making applied to James; the short devotional lyric, religious narrative, philosophical or theological verse, works of religious satire and controversy, liturgical verse, and sermons are all examined, and relatively unstudied writers such as John Davies of Hereford, Joshua Sylvester, Andrew Melville, Joseph Hall, George Wither. ...

Product Description
This is the first book to examine the literature of the Romantic period as a conscious attempt to affect the religious transformation of society. Robert Ryan argues that the political quarrel that preoccupied England during the Romantic period was in large part an argument about the religious character of the nation, and that the Romantics became active and conspicuous participants in this public debate. Ryan shows how the careers of the Romantic poets are radically reconfigured when viewed in the context of the period's passionate debate on religion, politics and society. ... Read more
