England's Antiphon
1868
England's Antiphon, published in 1868 by George MacDonald, is a theological and literary exploration of the evolution of religious poetry in England. The work emphasizes the connection between poetry and the nation's religious and cultural history, reflecting the spiritual condition of the people through various periods. MacDonald introduces the concept of the 'antiphon' as a guiding principle for his selections, examining sacred lyrics from the 13th century onward and inviting readers to engage with the emotional depth of these poetic expressions. This book is notable for its in-depth analysis of English religious poetry and its impact on readers' understanding of faith and worship.

“As we must not judge of the life of the nation by it's kings and mighty men, so we must not judge the life of the Church by those who are called Rabbi. [...] In the Church, as in society, we often find that that which shows itself uppermost is hut the froth, a sign, it may be, of life beneath, but in itself worthless.””
— George MacDonald
“In the hardest winter the roots are sill alive in the frozen ground.””
