George Herbert wrote, but never published, some of the very greatest English poetry, recording in an astonishing variety of forms his inner experiences of grief, recovery, hope, despair, anger, fulfilment and - above all else - love. This volume, edited by John Drury, collects Herbert's complete poetry - including such classics of English devotional poetry as 'The Altar', Easter-Wings' and 'Love'. It also includes the verse Herbert wrote in Latin, newly translated into English by Victoria Moul. George Herbert was born in 1593 and died at the age of 39 in 1633, before the clouds of civil war gathered. He showed worldly ambition and seemed sure of high public office and a career at court, but then for a time 'lost himself in a humble way', devoting himself to the restoration of a church and then to his parish of Bemerton, three miles from Salisbury. When in the year of his death his friend Nicholas Ferrar published Herbert's poems under the title The Temple, his fame was quickly established. John Drury is Chaplain and Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. His books include The Burning Bush (1990), Painting the Word (1999), and, most recently, Music at Midnight, the culmination of a lifetime's interest in Herbert. Victoria Moul is Lecturer in Latin Literature and Language at Kings College London. She is author of Jonson, Horace and the Classical Tradition (2010) and editor of Neo-Latin Literature (2014). 546 $a In English and Latin with some English translated from the Latin. 650 0 $a English poetry $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Christian poetry, English. 650 0 $a Latin poetry $y 17th century. 700 1 $a Drury, John, $d 1936- $e editor. 700 1 $a Moul, Victoria, $d 1980- $e translator. $e translator. 700 12 $a Herbert, George, $d 1593-1633. $t Poems. $k Selections 700 12 $a Herbert, George, $d 1593-1633. $t Poems. $k Selections. $l English. 830 0 $a Penguin classics. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112053415.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826035411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D04315946B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
