Religio Poetae, Etc. is a book written by Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore and published in 1907.

The book includes essays on topics such as the nature of poetry, the role of the poet in society, and the spiritual significance of poetic language. It also contains a selection of Patmore's own poems, which illustrate his ideas about the connection between poetry and religion. Religio Poetae, Etc. is a thought-provoking and insightful work that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and the arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
