Excerpt from Cowper and His PoetryAnd as the coldness of intellectualism vanishes a new note of human sympathy steals into poetry. Crabbe, in revolt against the idealism of Goldsmith, depicts scenes of sordid misery with minute pencil in Cowper the bitter cry of the slave rises heavenward. The devotional spirit, crushed in an age of reason and free inquiry, revives. Experimental religion is restored to its place, poetry becomes once more passionate and personal. The ¿ame of religion, fanned by the zeal of the Revival, bursts again into full passion and vigour in the pathos and the personal note of the Olney Hymns and The Task.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
