Excerpt from The Bible in English Literature The subject is not casual - it is nothing incidental, nor even wholly explicit. It is implicit in the pro foundest sense - it is close to the beating of the heart, and the flowing of the blood. For we believe that English-speaking people possess the Bible in this way, not merely in outward ways and customs, but in the blood. The author can only hope that he has suc ceeded to some extent in making this clear as respects English literature.

This Companion explores the Bible's role and influence on individual writers, whilst tracing the key developments of Biblical themes and literary theory through the ages.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... lessons out for men in scores and hundreds of his lines. He has in truth so interwoven the thought and language of Scripture in his poems, that much of it could be recovered from his pages if the original were lost Tennyson is only second to Browning in his use of the Bible. Dr. van Dyke's estimate of four hundred or more Biblical allusions in Tennyson is far too low. He is less given than Browning to quotation and paraphrase: nevertheless he is quite as much in the atmosphere of the Book. Some of his poems are profoundly Biblical in their tone. This is especially true of "In Memoriam" and the "Idylls." He is here moving on Biblical ground, and dealing with Biblical themes. Tennyson is acutely sensitive to the charm and cadence of the Scripture, and we can often detect its music in his lines. In him too we find, as in Browning, the expression in poetic form of our great human experiences, our spiritual fears and problems, together with the affirmation of Christian thinking upon subjects of the soul's life and destiny. As we shall see later, he deals constantly with such subjects as faith, immortality, prayer and sin. Tennyson turned to the Bible naturally: he felt the spell of its poetry. But more than this, he felt the reality of its touch upon life and its problems, and therefore he did not fear to carry over into his poems the ideals of the Bible. Not a few of his poems thus have their origin directly in the Bible. As Mr. Chapman tells us--" 'The Two Voices' and 'St. Simeon Stylites' are admirable paraphrases in modern language of the old cry of St. Paul conscious of the war in his members.. 'The Vision of Sin is a replica of the Scriptural 'mystery of iniquity.' 'Aylmer's Field, ' 'Locksley Hall/ and 'Maud' all remind us of the...

Revised and condensed from David Norton's acclaimed A History of the Bible as Literature, this book, first published in 2000, tells the story of English literary attitudes to the Bible. At first jeered at and mocked as English writing, then denigrated as having 'all the disadvantages of an old prose translation', the King James Bible somehow became 'unsurpassed in the entire range of literature'. How so startling a change happened and how it affected the making of modern translations such as the Revised Version and the New English Bible is at the heart of this exploration of a vast range of religious, literary and cultural ideas. Translators, writers such as Donne, Milton, Bunyan and the Romantics, reactionary Bishops and radical students all help to show the changes in religious ideas and in standards of language and literature that created our sense of the most important book in English.

Excerpt from The Bible as English Literature This same essential unity of quality is even more palpable In the style, which in its directness and its simple nobility is the one standard which we have in English to control the development Of our lan guage. The phrases from the Bible which have grown into our everyday speech spring impartially from the Old and New Testaments: we use the son Of his old age, or the valley of the shadow Of death, or the pure in spirit, or lilies of the field, without thinking whether they come from one part of the book or the other. This unity Of style is, as we shall see, largely due to the fact that the whole book was translated at the same period into a language Of unsurpassed and unfaded vigor, which now has enough tinge Of the archaic to give it a color Of its own. It was Tindale's great achieve ment that once for all be fixed the language Of the whole Bible: and under the anxious and inspired care of the revisers who followed in his steps the style has been brought to a point of simplicity and dignity, of strong feeling expressed by the rich music Of the prose, of stateliness and directness, which sets it apart from the style Of any other book in the language.
