Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Oxfordism: Or The Layman¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Guide For Detecting And Avoiding The Perils And Absurdities Of Puseyism, A Cowperanian Poem (1865) by Philologos is a satirical poem that aims to expose the dangers and irrationalities of Puseyism, a religious movement that emerged in the 19th century within the Church of England. The poem is written in the style of William Cowper, a famous English poet of the 18th century, and uses his characteristic wit and humor to ridicule the beliefs and practices of the Puseyites.The poem begins with a description of the Puseyites as a group of misguided and deluded individuals who have fallen prey to the allure of Roman Catholicism. The author then proceeds to enumerate the various absurdities and inconsistencies of Puseyism, such as its obsession with ritual and ceremony, its rejection of reason and common sense, and its tendency to exalt the authority of the Church over that of Scripture.Throughout the poem, the author employs a number of literary devices, such as irony, sarcasm, and parody, to drive home his point and to make his criticism more effective. He also draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, classical literature, and contemporary theological debates, to support his arguments and to expose the flaws in Puseyite theology.Overall, Oxfordism: Or The Layman¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Guide For Detecting And Avoiding The Perils And Absurdities Of Puseyism, A Cowperanian Poem (1865) is a clever and entertaining work of satire that sheds light on an important religious movement of the Victorian era and provides valuable insights into the cultural and intellectual history of the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
