| Summary: | Faith, Hope and Poetry operates on three levels. Level 1 is a critical appreciation and analysis of particular poems from across the vast span of English literature beginning with The Dream of the Rood and ending, in the present, with the work of Seamus Heaney. Level 2 explores the idea that transfigured vision is fundamental to the experience both of writing and reading poetry, while Level 3 argues that the transfiguring of vision through a revitalized imagination is a common task for science, poetry, and theology., Foundational to what is a profound and inspirational book are Guite’s detailed and insightful readings of firstly The Dream of the Rood, followed by works from the pens of Shakespeare, Davies, Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, Milton, Coleridge, Hardy, Larkin, Hill, and Heaney. |
