""The Life of the Spirit in the Modern English Poets"" is a literary analysis book written by Vida Dutton Scudder. The book explores the spiritual and religious themes found in the works of modern English poets, including T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Scudder examines how these poets grappled with the challenges of modernity and the loss of traditional religious beliefs, and how they sought to find meaning and purpose through their art. She also delves into the philosophical and cultural influences that shaped their work, such as the rise of existentialism and the impact of World War I. Through her analysis, Scudder offers insights into the ways in which poetry can serve as a vehicle for exploring and expressing the human experience of the divine. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature, poetry, and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
