Description

Carefully curated and beautifully bound. An uplifting gift!

This anthology provides one of the most finest Christian verse written all over the second one millennium of Christianity.

All the great ones are here: Hildegard of Bingen, Francis of Assisi, Dante and Chaucer from the High Middle Ages; Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross and John Donne from the Reformation; English and American Romantics such as Browning and Whittier; late nineteenth-century mystics like Dickenson and Hopkins, as well the great converts of that period like Newman and Chesterton.

A conscious attempt was once made to meet both the standards of academia and the tastes and sensibilities of the faithful.

The selections are arranged chronologically to serve also as a history of verse.

Brief biographical and anecdotal introductions reveal the varied relationships of the poets with every other and with the trials and tribulations of their day.

This magnificent collection is very important for all poetry lovers for individuals who respond to the wonderful thing about the written word penned within the service of spiritual truth.
