Reviews
"A stunning work. . . . [This] is at once an essay in cultural history, a study in critical theory, and a monograph on the modern philosophy of religion. Its importance lies not only in the originality of its interpretations of figures as diverse as Coleridge, Arnold, Pater, and Santayana, but in the manner in which it isolates a central and centralizing concern shared by each in the poetic, epistemological, and metaphysical import of the imagination."--Giles B. Gunn, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
