Synopsis

Seven essays on the moral life of literature and the moral burden of the poet seek to rescue key literary works from misinterpretation, in a collection that covers such texts as the Oxford English Dictionary, Tyndale's Bible, and poems by Henry Vaughan and T.S. Eliot.

In this, his first collection of essays in more than a decade, Geoffrey Hill again returns to "the Enemy's country, " that fallen world where both scholarship and ignorance lie in ambush of Truth, to rescue inspired literature from misreading. His texts include the Oxford English Dictionary, Tyndale's Bible, and poems by Henry Vaughan and T. S. Eliot, as well the vast apparatus of opinion about them. Style and Faith--seven essays in the moral life of literature and the moral burden of the poet--will interest anyone who values precision and concision, and literary criticism in the service of the commonweal.
