Poetry and Humanism

In 'Poetry and Humanism, M. M.' Mahood writes on the great religious poets of seventeenth-century England and their relation to Renaissance humanism. The seventeenth-century poets are almost without exception men of the world: their poetry is full of sensuous, scientific, and mundane images. But they are also religious men, fully aware of man's paradoxical situation between Heaven and earth. What these poets accomplish, Professor Mahood shows here, is a reintegration of the strands of humanism, a conscious re-orientation that restores the balance between God, man, and nature.Mahood, Molly M. is the author of 'Poetry and Humanism' with ISBN 9780393005332 and ISBN 039300533X.
