The Messiah: A Poem, In Six Books (1832)

The Messiah: A Poem, In Six Books is a religious epic poem written by Robert Montgomery and published in 1832. The poem tells the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as described in the Bible. The six books of the poem cover different aspects of Christ's life, including his birth, teachings, miracles, betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection. Montgomery's writing is characterized by its ornate language, vivid imagery, and religious fervor. The poem was well-received by contemporary critics and was widely read by the Victorian public. Despite its popularity, however, The Messiah has since fallen out of favor with literary scholars, who criticize its sentimentalism and lack of originality. Nevertheless, the poem remains an important example of religious poetry from the Romantic era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
