One of only 200 copies printed by L'imprimerie Acadienne Limitee in Moncton, featuring verse of a theological nature. Inscription on title page reads, "To May/a favorite friend/(undecipherable [possibly sincerely])/Robin". Since "Robin" is occasionally a nickname for "Robert," this could be a signed copy, but not being able to prove it in this case, I am not offering this as anything but a fairly decent copy of a generally scarce work by a New Brunswick musician/poet. Unpaginated (12). Moderate general wear. View More...
The author traces the romantic and philosophical 19th-century concept of nature "in a synthesis of views derived from science, religion and philosophy; and shows how, in poets like Wordsworth, Emerson and Meredith, the abstract idea supports and is colored by their love for the 'beauteous forms' of the material world and their mystical sense of man's oneness with the universal spirit, providing them with a kind of substitute for dogmatic religion." Green cloth w/gilt lettering to front cover/spine, 618 pages (including notes, index). Bumped corners/spine ends, dusty/lightly tanned/lightly soil... View More...
