The Story of the Psalters is a comprehensive historical account of the metrical versions of the Bible in Great Britain and America from 1549 to 1885. Written by Henry Alexander Glass, this book explores the evolution of the Psalters, which are collections of psalms set to music for use in worship. The author traces the development of these versions, from the first English metrical Psalter in 1549 to the various revisions and adaptations that followed. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods in the history of the Psalters, with each chapter focusing on a particular version or group of versions. Glass examines the political and religious contexts in which the Psalters were produced and how they were received by different communities of believers. He also explores the musical and poetic features of the Psalters, highlighting the contributions of notable composers and lyricists.Throughout the book, Glass provides detailed analyses of the texts and music of the Psalters, as well as critical assessments of their strengths and weaknesses. He also discusses the controversies and debates that surrounded the production and use of these versions, including issues of language, meter, and theological interpretation.Overall, The Story of the Psalters is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious history, musicology, and literary studies. It offers a rich and detailed account of the development of a key aspect of Christian worship and provides insights into the broader cultural and social contexts in which these versions were created and used.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
