(John) Morley, Henry 1822 1894 The Christian Year Transcribed from the 1887 Cassell & Company edition by David Price "The Christian Year" by John Keble is a collection of devotional poetry written in the early 19th century. The work is structured around the Christian liturgical calendar, providing reflections and meditations on the themes inherent in each season and holy day of the year, designed to deepen readers' spiritual lives and understanding of faith. Keble's poems aim to articulate the beauty and significance of Christian worship and the cyclical nature of religious life throughout the year. The opening of "The Christian Year" provides an introduction that highlights John Keble’s background, his motivations for writing the collection, and its significance in the context of the Oxford Movement. It narrates Keble's journey from an academic at Oxford to a devoted clergyman, who sought to articulate his love for God through poetry. The text reveals Keble’s aim to infuse each aspect of Christian worship with lively contemplation, thus awakening a sense of spirituality and devotion in the hearts of his readers. This introduction sets the stage for a series of poems that reflect on various holy days, encouraging a deeper connection between the reader and the divine throughout the Christian calendar.
