The seventeenth-century poet and divine Thomas Traherne finds
innocence in every stage of existence. He finds it in the chaos at
the origins of creation as well as in the blessed order of Eden. He
finds it in the activities of grace and the hope of glory, but also
in the trials of misery and even in the abyss of the Fall.
Boundless Innocence in Thomas Traherne's Poetic Theology traces
innocence through Traherne's works as it transgresses the
boundaries of the estates of the soul. Using grammatical and
literary categories it explores various aspects of his poetic
theology of innocence, uncovering the boundless desire which is
embodied in the yearning cry: 'Were all Men Wise and Innocent...'
Recovering and reinterpreting a key but increasingly neglected
theme in Traherne's poetic theology, this book addresses
fundamental misconceptions of the meaning of innocence in his work.
Through a contextual and theological approach, it indicates the
unexplored richness, complexity and diversity of this theme in the
history of literature and theology.
