Great Poets And Their Creeds

""Great Poets And Their Creeds: The Fallacy That Religion Inspires Great Poetry"" is a book written by Joseph McCabe that challenges the idea that religion is the primary source of inspiration for great poetry. The book explores the lives and works of some of the most celebrated poets in history, including William Shakespeare, John Milton, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Walt Whitman, among others. McCabe argues that while many of these poets were religious, their most profound and enduring works were not necessarily inspired by their faith. Instead, he suggests that their greatest works were often the result of their own individual experiences, personal philosophies, and social and political contexts. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between poetry and religion, and challenges readers to reconsider the assumptions they may have about the sources of artistic inspiration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
