About this book
Christian devotion and secular verse share the pages of this first volume of Richard Crashaw's collected poetry. Edited by Alexander B. Grosart, it brings together Steps to the Temple, Carmen Deo Nostro and The Delights of the Muses, alongside poems recovered from manuscripts. The contents range from hymns for the Nativity and Easter to elegies, translations, poems about music and verses addressed to friends.
In the excerpted poems, Crashaw imagines George Herbert's verse as a companion to prayer and celebrates Saint Teresa's intense religious commitment. Images of fire, wings and the heart give inward feeling a visible shape. Grosart's preface explains his comparison of early editions and his attention to revised lines, while notes accompany the poems. Readers interested in early modern English poetry can explore both Crashaw's devotional language and the editorial work that preserves different versions of his writing.
