Abstract

Mr. Willey himself reminds us that the three books do not pretend to an equal completeness in treating their subjects. The last is a collection of essays on individuals ranging in time from Coleridge to Arnold; while the first two deal with major subjects and centers of intellectual concern in their centuries. Since the earlier books, however, illuminate certain basic questions of metaphysics and theology which come to their climax only in the nineteenth century, it seems to me impossible to consider the value of the recent book apart from them.
