George Herbert's Travels

This collection of essays features many of the world's leading Herbert scholars and track Herbert's travels: through four centuries, west and east; through the inner spaces of the suffering body and soul; and through modernity into the postmodern. They discover connections between Herbert and dozens of varied writers, from Augustine, Shakespeare, Donne and Dickinson to Bishop, Larkin, Hecht, and Heaney; important reading for all students of British and American poetry, from early modern to postmodern.
