Psalm Culture and Early Modern English Literature examines the
powerful influence of the biblical Psalms on sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century English literature. It explores the
imaginative, beautiful, ingenious and sometimes ludicrous and
improbable ways in which the Psalms were 'translated' from ancient
Israel to Renaissance and Reformation England. No biblical book was
more often or more diversely translated than the Psalms during the
period. In church psalters, sophisticated metrical paraphrases,
poetic adaptations, meditations, sermons, commentaries, and through
biblical allusions in secular poems, plays, and prose fiction,
English men and women interpreted the Psalms, refashioning them
according to their own personal, religious, political, or aesthetic
agendas. The book focuses on literature from major writers like
Shakespeare and Milton to less prominent ones like George
Gascoigne, Mary Sidney Herbert and George Wither, but it also
explores the adaptations of the Psalms in musical settings,
emblems, works of theology and political polemic.
