England's Antiphon is a book written by George Macdonald and published in 1868. The book is a collection of essays and poems that explore the religious and spiritual history of England. Macdonald examines the role of Christianity in shaping the English culture and identity, and he reflects on the country's relationship with God throughout history. The title of the book refers to the antiphon, a type of chant used in religious services, and Macdonald uses this metaphor to explore the idea of England as a chorus of voices, each contributing to the country's spiritual heritage. The book is a thoughtful and reflective exploration of faith and spirituality, and it offers a unique perspective on the religious history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
