A collectible new Penguin Classics series: stunning, clothbound
editions of ten favourite poets, which present each poet's most
famous book of verse as it was originally published. Designed by
the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith and beautifully set, these
slim, A format volumes are the ultimate gift editions for poetry
lovers. On his deathbed George Herbert entrusted the manuscript of
The Temple to his friend Nicholas Ferrar, asking him to publish it
if he thought it was worthy. Herbert died in 1633 and the
collection was published the same year to great acclaim,
subsequently becoming one of the best-loved collections in the
English language. The Temple is an astounding collection of verse
poems: an extended meditation on man's relationship to God that is
characterised by Herbert's clarity and directness of style. It
includes such favourites as 'The Collar', 'The Pearl' and 'Love',
with its beautiful opening lines: 'Love bade me welcome; yet my
soul drew back, / Guilty of dust and sin'.
