Publisher's Synopsis
Heralds of Revolt: Studies in Modern Literature and Dogma is a book written by William Francis Barry and published in 1904. The book is a collection of essays that explore the intersection of modern literature and religious dogma. Barry examines the works of prominent writers such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Browning, and analyzes how their writing reflects the changing attitudes towards religion and spirituality in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Barry argues that these writers were ""heralds of revolt"" against the traditional religious beliefs and practices of their time, and that their works challenged readers to question their own beliefs and values. He also explores the role of literature in shaping cultural attitudes and beliefs, and argues that literature has the power to inspire social and political change. Overall, Heralds of Revolt is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between literature and religion, and a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and intellectual climate of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
