| Abstract | Emphasizes the English hymn as a literary entity within denominational and historical contexts. The author sets forth a number of definitions for hymnody and congregational song, and then examines the development of the various forms in England and the United States. Includes a listing of works for further reading, an index to all hymns discussed, and chronology. This book is valuable both for the historical information it provides and for its appreciative evaluation of the religious treasures enshrined in English-language hymns. |
