Synopsis

This book is an assembly of letters written by Edward Chickering Guild, a Unitarian minister from Massachusetts, primarily about English literature with a focus on the writings of poets from the 17th century such as George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and Sir Philip Sidney. Guild believed personal enthusiasm was key to getting the most from literature, to discovering the hidden beauty and meaning with the help of personal enthusiasm. In his letters, Guild advocates cultivating a rich and multifaceted inner life. He discusses the value of independence of thought when it comes to literary criticism and interpretation, holding that there is more value in cherishing and developing one's own opinions and tastes than in adopting the opinions of others. The book contains a wealth of historical background, biographical information, and Guild's personal reflections which create an exciting exploration of English literature and the value of reading.
