Publisher's Synopsis
The old-fashioned equivalent of a blog, the Commonplace book is, if not a cornucopia, at least a pot-pourri in which the whole is more attractive than the ingredients taken separately. The current pot contains material plucked from philosophy, literature and music, and lightly spiced with the notion that what is real is revealed largely by discriminating what is better from what is worse. Discussions range from consideration of the nature of God to the essence of literary archetypes and the modes of folk music. While not to everybody's taste, it is hoped that the resulting soup might provide at least some nourishment to those prepared to dip in and digest it.
