The Christian Year by John Keble

"The Christian Year" by John Keble is a series of poems written in 1827 for the Sundays and feasts of the Church of England's liturgical calendar. This devotional work became the most popular volume of verse in the nineteenth century, with over 375,000 copies sold by 1873. Several of its poems became beloved hymns. Initially published anonymously, its success led to Keble's appointment as Oxford Professor of Poetry and significantly influenced the Oxford Movement. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
