Description
English critics were brilliant initiators and exploiters of biblical criticism.
This momentous exercise, whereby the 'Holy Scriptures' became the object of human critique independent of church control, is illustrated by John Drury in the present volume with excerpts from such famous critics as Coleridge, Blake and Matthew Arnold, and lesser names such as Collins and Deist and Bishop Sherlock.
Robert Lowth's famous lectures on the Psalms, which had an important influence on Blake and Christopher Smart, are well represented here, as is the famous contribution to Essays and Reviews by Benjamin Jowett.
This book provides the only available collection of biblical criticism from this important period of critical enquiry, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The extracts are accompanied by a full editorial introduction, notes and a bibliography.
They should be read by all students of literature and theology interested in the period.
