Early Religious Poetry of the Hebrews

by E. G. King

Overview

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Early Religious Poetry of the Hebrews by E. G. King was first published in 1911. The volume presents a clear guide to the religious poems of the Old Testament period, avoiding abstruse technical discussion. All poetry is translated into English.
