We introduce to our readers James Montgomery. His English biographers, Mr. John Holland and Rev. James Everett, with affectionate assiduity have issued his life in seven volumes. Precious as the most insignificant memorials of him must be to personal friends, and interesting as are all the links which bind a man to his own country, a great portion of this ample detail possesses little, if any interest, to an American public. It therefore has been our work to sift out from this the true wheat of his life, and mould it anew. With none of the classic richness of Rogers, the weird originality of Coleridge, the introspective sweetness of Wordsworth, or the fascinating romance of Scott, there is a moral earnestness, an unaffected grace, a purity of diction, which penetrate the heart and place his poetry among the permanent literature of England. The Christian element of his hymns gave them wings.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive portrait of James Montgomery, a poet of the Romantic era. Born in Scotland in 1771, Montgomery's early life was shaped by the Moravian community, which instilled in him a deep religious faith and a love of poetry. After a brief stint as a missionary in the West Indies, he settled in Sheffield, England, where he became a leading figure in the literary and cultural life of the city. Montgomery's poetry encompassed various themes, including nature, religion, and social justice. Influenced by the Romantic movement's emphasis on emotion and individualism, he crafted poems that were both introspective and evocative. His hymns, in particular, gained widespread popularity for their heartfelt expression of Christian faith. Throughout his life, Montgomery maintained strong ties to the Moravian Church, and his writings often reflect the values and beliefs of this community. His work explores the complexities of human existence, grappling with themes of sin, redemption, and the search for meaning in a changing world. This book delves into Montgomery's literary output, examining the themes, influences, and techniques that shaped his poetry. It also explores his role as a key figure in the Romantic movement and his contributions to the development of English literature.
