Distinguished critic and scholar Louis L. Martz refreshingly
addresses some of the central concerns in current studies of
English poetry from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, exploring
the context of religious controversy within which this poetry
developed and the relationship of poetry to the visual arts.
"It is not unusual for a seasoned critic to put together essays
previously published over a period of time (in this case two
decades). What is unique is the consistent voice and purpose
sustained by Martz here and over a distinguished career. . . .
This volume should be of particular interest to students, both in
its fascinating subject matter and the attractive illustrations
that accompany the text."--Choice
