England's Antiphon George MacDonald

by George MacDonald, Paula Benitez (Editor)

Overview

In this book I have sought to trace the course of our religious poetry from an early period of our literary history. This could hardly be done without reference to some of the principal phases of the religious history of the nation. To give anything like a full history of the religious feeling of a single county, would require a large book, and--not to mention sermons--would involve a thorough acquaintance with the hymns of the country,--a very wide subject, which I have not considered of sufficient importance from a literary point of view to come within the scope of the volume.
