A wonderful book
For readers who have been perplexed by competing versions of Richard Crashaw's poems, this book will provide some relief, as it contains both early and late versions of nearly all his poetic works.Especially noteworthy, beautiful, and unique, are Crashaw's own drawings which are meant to accompany several of the poems, including his famous appeal to the Countess of Denbigh.The book also includes an index of first lines, which proves particularly helpful when one has a poem in mind but does not know its exact title.If you can find a used copy of this book in decent condition, do not pass up the opportunity to buy it!A lightly-used copy of this book is a precious gem when compared to The Complete Works Of Richard Crashaw (published as part of the Legacy Reprint Series),whose product description warns the buyer that the book may "have occasional imperfections such as missing and blurred pages, missing text, poor pictures, markings, [and] dark backgrounds." ...

She traces evidence of this devotion in a wide range of poems which they wrote to or about women. In the first half of this work, Donne's "Songs and Sonnets", "Verse Letters", religious works and "Anniversaries" are discussed as they reflect increasingly covert reverence for a holy mother figure. In the second half, Crashaw's juvenile poems and epigrams, verse in honour of the Virgin and Child, and mature contemplative verse are seen to express not only mystical homage to Mary but growing and more open admiration for feminine powers of faith. ...
