ISBN
Engaging with four English
poems or groups of poems - the anonymous medieval Crucifixion lyrics;
William Langland's Piers Plowman,
John Donne's Divine Poems,
and John Milton's Paradise Lost
- this book examines the nature of poetic encounter with God. At the
same time, the author makes original contributions to the discussion of
critical dilemmas in the study of each poem or group of poems.
The main
linguistic focus of this book is on the nature of dialogue with God in
religious poetry, an area much neglected by grammarians and often
overlooked in studies of literary style. It constitutes an important
contribution to our understanding of the relationship between
literature and theology.
