Trade Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. First American Edition. First U.S. edition. Jacket lightly rubbed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1981 Trade Paperback. 718 pp. 'Although he wrote some secular verse in suitably fashionable modes, Henry Vaughan is chiefly valued for his religious poetry. Less worldly than Donne or Herbert, to whom he is indebted, Vaughan wrote poetry both mysterious and richly suggestive. His approach to Christianity, however, cannot be given precise and indisputable definition, as he was strongly influenced by hermeticism and other prevailing currents of mysticism. In addition, his response to nature marks him out from his contemporaries and, in some respects, prefigures nineteenth-century romanticism. Vaughan's first poems appeared in 1646, his more famous collection, Silex Scintillans, in 1650, and a fuller edition in 1655. Through his work he attempted to regain the purity and vision of eternity which he associated with childhood - and thus these poems convey a valuable and highly individual religious experience. This is the most comprehensively annotated edition of Vaughan's complete poems yet to appear and, for the first time, makes a serious attempt to unravel the host of biblical allusions which suffuse his work.
