First volume in what will be the definitive edition of the complete
works of Thomas Traherne, containing previously unpublished
material. Thomas Traherne [1637?-1674], a clergyman of the Church
of England during the Restoration, was little known until the early
twentieth century, when his poetry and Centuries of Meditations
were discovered. Although his reputation as a metaphysical poet in
the tradition of Donne and Herbert has grown since then, there have
only been miscellaneous publications of his poetry and devotional
writings, with much of his output still unpublished. TheWorks of
Thomas Traherne brings together all of Traherne's extant works in a
definitive, printed edition for the first time, with the purpose of
giving a sense of the manuscript or printed originals. His works
not published in print will be edited by manuscript insofar as
possible, giving due attention to their physical aspects and to
their integrity as manuscript books. The text of Traherne's works
will be printed in seven volumes, with an eighth volume of
commentary, and a further volume of his notebooks. This first
volume makes available in print four treatises contained in a
single manuscript recently discovered in 1997 at Lambeth Palace
Library. While they bear thestamp of Traherne's unique character of
thought and writing, they are diverse in subject and form. Traherne
wrote against a background of scepticism as well as a growing
atheism. These four works show him to be profoundly aware ofthe
currents of his age, theological, political, sociological and
scientific, to which he responded with thoughtful and imaginative
insights. They show him also to be a compelling apologist for the
Christian religion and for thegoodness of the church. This much
needed and important edition of the works of Thomas Traherne makes
a valuable contribution not only to Traherne studies but also to
seventeenth-century studies in general.
