Gregory as Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the See also:Hebrews, exercised a See also:great See also:influence both in See also:England and on the See also:continent. Their See also:chief importance See also:lay in the
See also:idea of looking at the sacred poetry as poetry and examining it by the See also:ordinary See also:standards of See also:literary See also:criticism. Lowth's aesthetic criticism was that of the See also:age, and is now in great See also:part obsolete, a more natural method having been soon after introduced by See also:Herder. The See also:principal point in which Lowth's influence has been lasting is his See also:doctrine of poetic See also:parallelism, and even here his somewhat See also:mechanical See also:classification of the forms of Hebrew sense-See also:rhythm, as it should rather be called, is open to serious objections. See also:Editions of the Lectures and of the Isaiah have been numerous, and both have been translated into See also:German.
