Kelman, a Scottish preacher, gave these lectures to steer readers toward books of literary charm and spiritual weight, threading them on one theme: the struggle between paganism and idealism. Chapters take up the gods of Greece, Pater’s Marius the Epicurean, the two Fausts, Celtic revivals of paganism, John Bunyan and the diary of Samuel Pepys.
Warm, learned literary talk for readers who like their criticism with a moral and religious edge. Download the free EPUB.
