""The Early Poetry of Israel in its Physical and Social Origins"" is a book written by George Adam Smith and published in 1912. The book explores the origins of ancient Hebrew poetry and how it was influenced by the physical and social environment of the Israelites.

The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Hebrew poetry, including its structure, themes, and literary techniques. Smith also provides detailed analyses of several key poems from the Old Testament, including the Song of Deborah and the Song of Moses. Overall, ""The Early Poetry of Israel in its Physical and Social Origins"" is a comprehensive and insightful study of the origins and development of Hebrew poetry, and its significance in the history of Israelite culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
