Costly
Monuments: Representations of
the Self in George Herbert's Poetry
by Barbara Leah Harman, George Herbert
Hardcover
Harvard University Press, Dec 1982
"[S]hows how the elimination of the
speaker and
the collapse of {Herbert's} proffered act of
devotion is re-enacted, over and over again,
in {his} poetry. . . . Readers will recognize
in Ms Harman's 'collapsing poems' a version of
the 'self-consuming artifacts' of Stanley Fish,
but there is an important difference. Harman
carefully distinguishes what the poem says from
what the poem actually does."

: George Herbert and the Protestant Ethic
by Cristina Malcolmson
Hardcover
Stanford Univ Press; December 1999

within the history of social and economic change

outward social role like the soul with the body."

by Julia Carolyn Guernsey
Hardcover
Univ of Delaware Pr; September 1999

Spirituality : The Religion of George Herbert
by Gene Edward Veith, Jr.
Hardcover
Bucknell Univ Pr; May 1985
"[A] perceptive study of the religious experience of
Herbert as a person and as a priest. Veith persuasively

stresses patterns of descent by God toward the soul
of man." —A.C. Labriola - Choice
