The Religion of our Literature
Title
The Religion of our Literature
Description
- “Literature, in the centuries that went before the Reformation, did an essential service in preparing the way for it. The poet and the littérateur being universally allowed a very great license, even an intolerant priesthood suffered them to speak out the truth, and, despising probably any opposition which came from that quarter, was doomed to find that genius and imagination form the mightiest influence of all.”
