This is the first comprehensive study of the theological
significance of Paul Claudel, a poet frequently cited by
literary-minded theologians in Europe and theologically-minded
poets (such as von Balthasar, de Lubac and Eliot). His writing
combines cosmology and history, Bible and metaphysics, liturgy and
the drama of human personality. His work, which continues to arouse
discussion in France, was acclaimed in his lifetime as the 'summa
poetica' of a new Dante. Aidan Nichols' study demonstrates how
Claudel's oeuvre, which is not only poetry but theatre and prose
including biblical commentaries, constitutes a rich resource for
constructive doctrine, liturgical preaching, and theological
reflection. As the comparable example of Geoffrey Hill, Professor
of Poetry at Oxford suggests, Aidan Nichols illuminates how
Claudel's synthesis of many dimensions remains an important way of
practising poetry in the Christian tradition today.
