Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Early Religious Poetry of the Hebrews by E. G. King was first published in 1911. The volume presents a clear guide to the religious poems of the Old Testament period, avoiding abstruse technical discussion. All poetry is translated into English.
