Oxford Garlands: Religious Poems (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Oxford Garlands: Religious PoemsI have excluded hymns and poems which, although not written for the purpose, have been pressed into the service of the churches, and this explains the absence of Cowper and other truly religious poets. Carols have also been omitted, as they would require a volume to themselves. A few poems which might possibly be looked for in this selection have been reserved for other volumes in the series.My aim has been to find room for poems which the most fastidious taste, poetical or religious, would approve. That these poems are mostly the work of those who have long since received their reward is no re¿ection on more modern poets, and I am fortunate in having obtained permission to reprint copyright poems which will bear comparison with the best in the book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
