Literary And Religious Sketches (1832)

By John Newland Maffitt

Book Overview

""Literary and Religious Sketches"" is a collection of essays and sermons written by John Newland Maffitt and published in 1832. Maffitt was a prominent Methodist preacher and lecturer who traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe, and his writing reflects his experiences and observations of society, literature, and religion. The book is divided into two parts: the first contains literary sketches, which explore the works of various authors and their impact on society, while the second contains religious sketches, which offer insight into Maffitt's own beliefs and experiences as a Christian minister. Throughout the book, Maffitt combines his knowledge of literature with his deep faith to provide a unique perspective on the intersection of culture and religion. The essays are written in a clear and accessible style, making them suitable for both academic and general readers. ""Literary and Religious Sketches"" remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American literature and religion in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
