The operative word in Tom Burton’s title is clearly “doubting,” not fashionable skepticism, but a questioning informed by experience and a broad range of literary study. Burton undergirds his thoughts on everyday life with allusions to Chaucer, Shakespeare, and his cherished Victorian mentors, Browning and Tennyson. His wisdom is revealed, as Eliot says of the latter’s, not by the strength of his convictions, but by the “quality of his doubt.” / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1151/thumbnail.jpg
