Faith, Hope and Poetry explores the poetic imagination as a way of
knowing; a way of seeing reality more clearly. Presenting a series
of critical appreciations of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times
to the present day, Malcolm Guite applies the insights of poetry to
contemporary issues and the contribution poetry can make to our
religious knowing and the way we 'do theology'. This book is not
solely concerned with overtly religious poetry, but attends to the
paradoxical ways in which the poetry of doubt and despair also
enriches theology. Developing an original analysis and application
of the poetic vision of Coleridge, Larkin and Seamus Heaney in the
final chapters, Guite builds towards a substantial theology of
imagination and provides unique insights into truth that complement
and enrich more strictly rational ways of knowing. Readers of this
book will return to their reading of poetry equipped with new
insights and enthusiasm and will be challenged to integrate
imaginative ways of knowing into their other academic and
intellectual pursuits.
