George Herbert was a poet and Church of England clergyman from the age of Shakespeare and Milton. Herbert's poetry influenced many contemporary poets of the time such as Henry Vaughan, Richard Crashaw, Thomas Traherne, and then in later times poets such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop and Anthony Hecht. Herbert’s poetry, although often experimental, was always passionate, searching, and elegant.
The book measures 17 x 11 x 4cm (6.75" x 4.25" x 1.5").
