Cet ouvrage est une traduction française de trente-deux poèmes majeurs extraits du Temple de George Herbert, poète anglais essentiel du xviie siècle. La mise en regard des textes français et anglais permet de s’étendre sur la poésie proprement dite, ses effets et ses subtilités. Écrite dans un style concis, émaillée de formules frappantes et éclairantes, l’introduction relève le défi consistant à donner à comprendre en quelques pages la signification, la nature et la portée de la poésie de Herbert. Le poète est en effet bien plus qu’un témoin des soubresauts religieux de son temps : il est celui dont « le coeur pérégrinant » exprime l’errance et l’obstination spirituelles de l’homme.

This is a comparative reading of Donne's poetry and prose, which eschews questions of personal or religious sincerity in order to recreate an image of John Donne as a man of many performances.

Green Thoughts, Green Shades is a strikingly original book, the first and only of its kind. Edited and introduced by noted seventeenth-century scholar Jonathan Post, it enlists the analytic and verbal power of some of today's most celebrated poets to illuminate from the inside out a number of the greatest lyric poets writing in English during the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Written by people who spend much of their time thinking in verse and about verse, these original essays herald the return of the early modern lyric as crucial to understanding the present moment of poetry in the United States. This work provides fascinating insights into what today's poets find of special interest in their forebears. In addition, these discussions shed light on the contributors' own poetry and offer compelling clues to how the poetry of the past continues to inform that of the present.

In Last Looks, Last Books, the eminent critic Helen Vendler examines the ways in which five great modern American poets, writing their final books, try to find a style that does justice to life and death alike. With traditional religious consolations no longer available to them, these poets must invent new ways to express the crisis of death, as well as the paradoxical coexistence of a declining body and an undiminished consciousness. In The Rock, Wallace Stevens writes simultaneous narratives of winter and spring; in Ariel, Sylvia Plath sustains melodrama in cool formality; and in Day by Day, Robert Lowell subtracts from plenitude. In Geography III, Elizabeth Bishop is both caught and freed, while James Merrill, in A Scattering of Salts, creates a series of self-portraits as he dies, representing himself by such things as a Christmas tree, human tissue on a laboratory slide, and the evening/morning star. The solution for one poet will not serve for another; each must invent a bridge from an old style to a new one. Casting a last look at life as they contemplate death, these modern writers enrich the resources of lyric poetry.
