Highly & ecstatically recommended.
A gloss on the Marvell poem becomes a history of the Canticle's reception in English verse becomes a foray into the dimmest corners of poetry's encounter with christian mysticism. Rarely have I finished a dusty and forgotten piece of scholarship and actually been surprised that everyone isn't talking about it.
Totally lucid and fluent. I rest in the shade of my beloved.
