Description

The Poetical Works of George Herbert is a collection of poems written by the 17th-century English poet and Anglican priest, George Herbert. First published in 1856, this edition includes all of Herbert's known poems, including those published posthumously. The poems are divided into several sections, each with its own theme, such as love, faith, and the human condition. Herbert's poetry is known for its religious themes and metaphysical imagery, and he is considered one of the most important poets of the English Renaissance. This edition includes a biographical introduction to Herbert's life and work, as well as notes and annotations to help readers better understand the poems.
