Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clergy in American Life and Letters The object of this book is to present the literary work of the American clergy in its twofold aspect as the expression of religious life and national thought. A study of the more varied influence of the clergy on American life is a necessary introduction to a consideration of their influence in American letters, because their literary activity was so frequently the natural outcome of the life and thought habitual to them. Contained in their discourses and sermons is often to be found the essence of their intellectual life, and, in the institutions they founded, the accomplishment of their ideas for the improvement of the people. Among their political orations, also, are some of the most important examples of this form of literature, in which the clergy recorded their opinions on the national questions of the day, and exercised their influence on American thinking.
