George Herbert: His Devotional Poetry within the Via Media
Abstract
A truly exhaustive study of
George Herbert's devotional poetry as a reflection and result
of his life as an Anglican minister would entail the use
of records which do not exist, such as an autobiography. It
is still hoped that if no more is known of this relationship
between the Anglican Church and George Herbert's poetry, at
least a portion of what is known has been approached and recorded
in a different and useful manner.
