This volume replaces the traditional image of George Herbert as
meditative recluse with a portrait of the poet as engaged
throughout his life with the religion, politics and society of his
time. Instead of an isolated genius living in retreat from the
world, Herbert appears as a man writing public verse, active within
an important social circle, and committed to nationalistic
Protestantism. The book attends to the poetic brilliance of his
verse as well as the institutions and contexts that influenced him:
the upper class coterie, Cambridge University, and the Church of
England.
