Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaders of Religion It is fifty years since, as an undergraduate at Cambridge, I projected and began to make collections for a complete edition of the works of Dr. Donne. In those days there was a great revival of the study of our seventeenth-century divinity, the result of the great Oxford Movement. Young men were told that the great teachers of that period were the safest and the wisest guides to follow. Certainly we knew none better. The Textual Criticism of the New Testament was then in its infancy, and the New Theology was not yet born. Perhaps it was just as well that publishers shrank from embarking in so ambitious a venture as I had contemplated; and soon circumstances intervened which took from me "the dream of doing and the other dream of done." In 1855, however, I issued a reprint of Donne´s little-known Essays in Divinity, with a brief account of the author´s life. The critics said that the volume was absurdly overloaded with foolish notes and an unnecessary display of learning. I think the critics were right.
