Book Description:
|
This is the first new critical edition in more than forty years of an astounding and unjustly neglected poet of sacred eroticism and homoeroticism--the traditional yet startling expression of ecstatic religious feeling in sexual terms. Richard Rambuss offers a critical, biographical, and historical introduction that reassesses Richard Crashaw and his significance and gives a chronology of the poet's life.
