Sinopsis

This book delves into the lives of two influential figures, Cowper and Shelley, examining their contrasting beliefs and the impact on their lives and legacies. The author juxtaposes Cowper's humble submission to Christianity with Shelley's rebellious intellect and rejection of God. Cowper's unwavering faith led him to a life marked by humility and compassion, while Shelley's pride and lawlessness culminated in a tragic end. Through the exploration of these contrasting paths, the book highlights the transformative power of faith and the destructive consequences of rejecting it. The author provides a rich analysis of the themes of obedience, love, and the pursuit of beauty, offering a nuanced understanding of the profound influence religious belief can have on an individual's character and destiny.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Records of a Vanished Life, Lectures, Addresses, Etc: A Memoir by His Wife, a Funeral Sermon by R. A Fyfe and Some Additional Papers

In preparing this brief memoir of my dear, departed husband, my purpose is not so much to enter into the details of a life which, in its earthly aspects, boasts few specially distinguishing events, as to endeavour to gather from it some simple lessons of the power of Divine grace to lift its possessor up into the light of a new life, whose secret forces are with Christ in God, - of that grace which ensures the victory over earthly corruptions and besetting sins, and which gilds the sunset of mortal life with a glory in which earth has no share. Such lessons, those who knew and loved Mr. Yule will find it sweet to trace, and from their study some, for whom he laboured and prayed, may gain an impulse towards those high ends he kept so constantly in view.
