The Religion of John Burroughs is a book written by Clifford Hazeldine Osborne that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the American naturalist and writer John Burroughs. Burroughs was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his writings on nature and his advocacy for conservation. However, he was also a deeply spiritual person who found inspiration and meaning in the natural world. In this book, Osborne examines Burroughs' religious views and how they influenced his writing and his life. He explores Burroughs' belief in a divine presence in nature, his rejection of traditional religious institutions, and his emphasis on personal experience and intuition. Osborne also looks at Burroughs' relationship with other prominent writers and thinkers of his time, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, and how their ideas influenced his own.Overall, The Religion of John Burroughs provides a fascinating insight into the religious beliefs of one of America's most influential naturalists and writers, and sheds light on the connections between spirituality, nature, and literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.1930. Among John Burroughs' contemporaries were many who considered him irreligious because of his attitude to organized Christianity. Those were the days when one sign of true religion was to exercise a pharisaic hauteur toward the unorthodox. This attitude toward Burroughs, therefore, might have been expected, but it is strange to find many people today who are under the impression that he was a freethinker, a skeptic, or an atheist, or a mysterious mixture of all three. It is to meet this mistaken view that this book has been written.
