Primarily known as one of the metaphysical poets, Thomas Traherne was also a theologian, clergyman, and religious writer. This posthumously published work is a delightful collection of brief meditations gathered in groups of hundreds, and includes reflections on Scripture and the soul's relationship with God. An exemplary piece of religious literature from a contemporary of John Milton and a forerunner of Romanticism, this work is a great addition to any library.

New essays on Thomas Traherne challenge traditional critical readings of the poet.
