Portrait of a Patriot
A Biography of John Wilkes
Richard Chenevix Trench était un archevêque et poète anglican. Il fut reconnu comme un disciple doué de Wordsworth, possédant une palette plus chaleureuse et des sympathies ecclésiastiques plus prononcées que son maître. Son œuvre révèle de fortes affinités avec Alfred Lord Tennyson et John Keble. La poésie de Trench fut bien accueillie, présentant un mélange raffiné de lyrisme romantique et de contemplation théologique.

Excerpt from The Fitness of Holy Scripture for Unfolding the Spiritual Life of Men: Being the Hulsean Lectures for the Year 1845 IT was with a true insight into the sad yet needful conditions of the Truth militant in a world of error, that he who has of such just title given his name to these Lectures, which I am now permitted to deliver in this place, devoted so largely of his temporal means to the securing among us a succession of Discourses, which should more or less nearly have to do with the establishing and vindicating that Truth against all gainsay ers and opposers.
