Poetic Priesthood in the Seventeenth Century

Reformed Ministry and Radical Verse

Beschreibung

Studies the extent to which seventeenth-century devotional poetry moves beyond specific confessional and ecclesiastical frameworks, and argues that John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and John Milton turned to verse to articulate a radical idea of religious devotion as distinct from the established church.

Autor

Tessie Prakas is Assistant Professor of English at Scripps College. Her scholarship and teaching focus primarily on early modern poetry and poetics, as well as on the relationship between music and literature. Her first book, Poetic Priesthood, reads seventeenth-century devotional poetry as practicing a counter-liturgical mode of piety. She has published articles in The Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, the John Donne Journal, Christianity and Literature, and Gender and Song in Early Modern England (Ashgate, 2014), and she is working on a project that reads early modern literary and musical practice in the light of our current critical preoccupation with interdisciplinarity.
