Excerpt from The Vision of Christ in the Poets: Selected Studies of the Christian Faith as Interpreted by Milton, Wordsworth, the Brownings, Tennyson, Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell
We, all of us, even the most busy and the most prosaic, value our poetry more than our prose. In deed, we are, most of us, poetically richer than we are aware of, and would be surprised if we were to take an accurate stock of our poetic wealth. Most of what any of us can quote is poetry - the poetry of the hymn-book, the poetry of sentiment, the po etry of heroism, the poetry of humor, the poetry learned in childhood, or that which we have gone to for relief and inspiration amid the cares and sor rows of life. It is wonderful how much poetry the average man or woman has in conscious or, more frequently, in unconscious memory. A hymn is sung in Church or social meeting; you had never committed it to memory, and did not know that you knew it; but you join in the singing, and, as you proceed, each line suggests its successor, and you discover that it had been appropriated by your mind without any conscious effort on your part.

This book provides a comprehensive anthology of poems written by some of the most celebrated English poets, offering readers a journey through the evolution of English poetry. The book traces the development of themes such as faith, love, and the human condition, exploring their treatment by different poets across centuries. Starting with John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, the book showcases the profound impact of Christianity on early English poetry, with Milton's work exemplifying the struggle between faith and doubt. William Wordsworth's visionary Romanticism and the lyrical genius of Elizabeth Barrett Browning represent the 19th-century's embrace of nature and emotion. Robert Browning's dramatic monologues delve into the complexities of the human psyche, while Alfred Tennyson's meditative verse captures the Victorian era's spiritual and philosophical explorations. John Greenleaf Whittier and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow contribute to the collection with their focus on social justice and the American experience, and James Russell Lowell's wit and satire provide a unique perspective on the changing world.
