Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Christ: A Poem More than two hundred years have elapsed since Wesley´s "Life of Christ" was first presented to the public, and nearly a hundred years since Bishop Coke published his revised edition. How for more than a century "the mantle of oblivion was drawn over it, so that few, comparatively speaking, knew that such a poem existed," is related by Bishop Coke in the preface to his revised edition, which is reprinted herein immediately following this note. It is a remarkable fact that some of the greatest literary productions of the world have been saved from oblivion by a mere accident or chance happening. So little was the literary merit of Milton´s "Paradise Lost" recognized at the time it was written, that the author had great difficulty in finding a publisher. He finally sold the entire manuscript for ten pounds, or about fifty dollars. Even after the poem was published it was not appreciated by book reviewers or readers, and soon went out of print. Long after it had been forgotten Lord Dorset discovered an old copy of the poem in a second-hand bookstore, and it was given to him as waste paper. He recognized its merit, obtained the indorsement of literary critics, brought out a new edition, and the great poem was launched upon its career of glory.
