Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Herbert combined the intellectual and the spiritual, the humble and the divine, to create some of the most moving devotional poetry in the English language. His deceptively simple verse uses the ingenious arguments typical of seventeenth-century 'metaphysical' poets, and unusual imagery drawn from musical structures, the natural world and domestic activity to explore a mosaic of Biblical themes. From the wit and wordplay of 'The Pulley' and the formal experimentation of 'Easter Wings' and 'Paradise', to the intense, highly personal relationship between man and God portrayed in 'The Collar' and 'Redemption', the works collected here show the transcendental power of divine love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Works of George Herbert, Vol. 2: Prose That Herbert intended publication is evident from his words in the authour To the reader, dated 1632. Why the book remained so long un published is unknown. One might suppose the delay due to a belief that so vivid a picture of a punctilious priest would be unwelcome and unsal able at a season of Puritan domination. But the time of its unopposed and successful issue was the culmination of the Puritan triumph, three years after the execution of the King, and a year before Cromwell became Protector. Oley's long first Preface, devoted more to abuse of Puritanism than to description of Herbert, seems to have aroused no hostility. The causes of delay must, therefore, have been of a private nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In George Herbert (1593-1633), profound religious sensibility is richly allied with a playful wit and with literary and musical gifts of the highest order. Herbert experimented brilliantly with a remarkable variety of forms, from hymns and sonnets to "pattern poems", the shapes of which reveal their subjects. Such technical agility never seems ostentatious, however, for precision of language and expression of genuine feeling were his primary concerns. Herbert is one of the finest religious poets in any language, though even secular readers respond to his quiet intensity and exuberant inventiveness. The poems he made achieve a perfection of form and feeling, a luminosity and a metaphysical grandeur unexcelled in the history of English writing. Though long overshadowed by Donne and Milton, Herbert has come to be one of the most admired of the metaphysical poets. In this new edition of Herbert's works, the distinguished scholar and translator Ann Pasternak Slater shows through detailed textual notes, a reordering of the poems, and an extensive introduction just how great a writer Herbert is.
