This perceptive, carefully documented study challenges the traditional assumption that the supernatural virtually disappeared from eighteenthcentury poetry as a result of the growing rationalistic temper of the late seventeenth century. Mr. Morris shows that the religious poetry of eighteenthcentury England, while not equaling the brilliant work of seventeenthcentury and Romantic writers, does reveal a vital and serious effort to create a new kind of sacred poetry which would rival the sublimity of Milton and of the Bible itself.Tracing the major varieties of religious poetry written throughout the centuryby major figures and by their now vanished contemporariesthe author explains how later poets and critics made significant departures from the established norms. These changes in religious poetry thus become a valuable means of understanding the shift from a neoclassical to a Romantic theory of literature.
