Synopsis
A fresh, image-rich reading of George Herbert
This scholarly guide reveals how Tuve reads Herbert through traditional biblical images and centuries of devotional art. It shows how familiar symbols become a language for longing, doubt, and disciplined love.
In clear, accessible language, the book traces how Herbert’s poetry uses well-known icons—pressing the Passion, the Red Sea, and biblical journeys—to deepen meaning. It also situates Herbert among a web of printers, primers, and liturgies that shaped his audience, from Horae to Queen Elizabeth’s Prayerbook, helping readers see the poems as part of a living tradition.What you’ll experience
- A close look at how visual imagery and religious symbols inform Herbert’s self-discovery and faith.
- Connections between poetry, liturgy, and manuscript culture in early modern England.
- Guidance on reading complex metaphors as part of a broader historical conversation.
- Examples of how familiar images become a language for spiritual reflection.
