The evolution of the King James Bible's reputation is explored, revealing that it was largely overlooked as a literary work for 150 years following its release. This first volume of David Norton’s extensive two-part study delves into the historical context and literary significance of the Bible in English culture, tracing its influence from ancient times through the late seventeenth century. Norton's analysis offers a unique perspective on biblical translation and the shifting literary ideas surrounding the text.
