About This Book

The biography traces the subject's early life in a devout household, his precocious classical education and youthful poetic experiments, a turn toward French Enlightenment reading that prompted skeptical doubts and intense religious anguish, and a renewed orientation toward ancient Greek and Roman literature and English periodicals that shaped his intellectual development; it interleaves chronological narrative with close attention to formative influences, literary attempts, and the personal temperament that fostered solitude and scholarly pursuits.
