Great Poets And Their Creeds

Great Poets And Their Creeds: The Fallacy That Religion Inspires Great Poetry is a book written by Joseph McCabe that explores the relationship between religion and poetry. The book challenges the commonly held belief that religion is a necessary source of inspiration for great poets. McCabe argues that many of the greatest poets throughout history were either non-religious or critical of organized religion. He examines the works of poets such as William Shakespeare, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Walt Whitman, among others, and shows how their poetry was often inspired by secular themes such as love, nature, and the human experience.The book also delves into the history of religion and its influence on poetry, from the early religious texts of the Bible and the Quran to the works of poets such as Dante and Milton. McCabe argues that while religion has certainly played a role in the development of poetry, it is not the only source of inspiration.Overall, Great Poets And Their Creeds is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between religion and poetry, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the role of faith in artistic expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
