Book Overview

Religio Poetae, Etc. is a book written by Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore and published in 1907. The book is a collection of the author's essays and poems on various religious and philosophical topics. The title of the book, Religio Poetae, means ""the religion of the poet"" in Latin, and reflects Patmore's belief that poetry has the power to express spiritual truths in a way that other forms of writing cannot. The book includes essays on topics such as the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the role of art in religion, as well as a selection of the author's poems. Patmore was a prominent Victorian poet and essayist, known for his religious and philosophical writings, and this book is considered one of his most important works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
