Publisher's Synopsis
The Ecclesiastical Sonnets of William Wordsworth is a collection of religious poems written by the famous English poet William Wordsworth. Originally published in 1822, this edition was released in 1922 and features an introduction by Abbie Findlay Potts. The sonnets explore themes of faith, redemption, and the divine, and are written in Wordsworth's signature style - simple yet profound, with a focus on nature and the beauty of the world around us. The poems are divided into three sections, each exploring a different aspect of religious experience. The first section focuses on the history of Christianity, while the second explores the lives of saints and other religious figures. The final section is more personal, with Wordsworth reflecting on his own faith and the role it plays in his life. This edition includes all 133 sonnets, as well as Potts' introduction, which provides context and analysis of the poems. The Ecclesiastical Sonnets of William Wordsworth is a must-read for fans of Wordsworth's poetry, as well as anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith and art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
