Christians in post-Reformation England inhabited a culture of
conversion. Required to choose among rival forms of worship, many
would cross - and often recross - the boundary between
Protestantism and Catholicism. This study considers the poetry
written by such converts, from the reign of Elizabeth I to that of
James II, concentrating on four figures: John Donne, William
Alabaster, Richard Crashaw, and John Dryden. Murray offers a
context for each poet's conversion within the era's polemical and
controversial literature. She also elaborates on the formal
features of the poems themselves, demonstrating how the language of
poetry could express both spiritual and ecclesiastical change with
particular vividness and power. Proposing conversion as a catalyst
for some of the most innovative devotional poetry of the period,
both canonical and uncanonical, this study will be of interest to
all specialists in early modern English literature.
