The Course of Time is an epic poem by Robert Pollok, a Scottish clergyman and poet. Published in 1827, it achieved considerable popularity in the 19th century for its religious themes and vivid descriptions. The poem explores the history of mankind through a Calvinistic theological lens, examining themes of mortality, judgment, and the eternal consequences of human actions.
This edition includes an enlarged index and a memoir of the author, providing additional context for understanding Pollok's life and work. The Course of Time remains a significant example of religious poetry from the Romantic era, offering readers a profound meditation on faith, time, and the human condition.
