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.
