The Message of Robert Browning (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Message of Robert Browning

Browning's attitude to the age in which he lived may be compared with that of the Hebrew Prophets, who, while they breathed the exalted atmosphere of noble ideals more or less to themselves apart, neverthe less touched in most real earnest the sluggish mass of life around them, stirring up slumbering consciences, dis illusioning the self-satisfied, awaken ing dead souls to newness of life, and substituting for the heavy weight of a soul-destroying materialism a living faith in n and humanity.

Excerpt from The Message of Robert Browning

The following short Studies are collected from the pages of the Scottish Standard Bearer, where they first appeared, and are published at the request of friends, some of whom are known to me only by correspondence, but whose words of kindly appreciation I deeply value.

The substance of the last chapter on Faith and Sight was, in the first instance, delivered as a lecture before the Aberdeen Diocesan Society.
