A condition of the spirit Book

Good information, but the author doesn't seem to know how to use colons (and there were some other punctuation things), which got irritating very quickly. also there are a lot more selections than I would have wanted/expected, and many are given without much context of the larger work. the author is also very concerned (VERY CONCERNED) with the intentions of the authors/poets she cites. it's not that I disagree entirely, but if you only read a work in its historical context then you aren't reading it for its own sake, you're reading it as a historical text. it just isn't nearly as fun.
