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.
