The Religious Spirit in the Poets by William Boyd Carpenter is a book that explores the relationship between poetry and religion. The author argues that poetry has always been a medium for expressing religious ideas and beliefs, and that the two have been intertwined throughout history. He examines the works of various poets, including William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Alfred Lord Tennyson, and shows how their poetry reflects their religious beliefs and experiences. Carpenter also discusses the role of religion in the development of poetry as an art form, and how it has influenced the way poets approach their craft. The book is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the connection between poetry and religion, and will be of interest to anyone interested in literature, spirituality, or the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
