E630401A.  The Greek Christian Poets and the English Poets.

The British Quarterly Review, 1 April 1863, pp. 501–502.

Listed in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 30, 369.

This exquisite little book—itself almost a poem throughout—consists of pieces which appeared in the Athenæum some twenty years since. Its title describes its subject: to describe the manner in which that subject is treated is very superfluous and would also be difficult. It gives some further insight into the learning of its most beloved and honoured author, while as an exhibition of the marvellous beauty [p. 502→] and resources of our English tongue it could not, for its slight bulk, be well surpassed.
