Protestant Poetics and the Seventeenth-Century Religious Lyric

Více o knize

The book explores how the Protestant focus on the Bible necessitated a deep philological and literary analysis, leading to the development of a comprehensive theory of biblical aesthetics. This theory intertwines the realms of poetic art and spiritual truth, highlighting the significant impact of religious interpretation on literary practices. Through this lens, Lewalski examines the relationship between biblical texts and their aesthetic qualities, revealing insights into how faith and literature influence each other.
