Authority, Church, and Society in George Herbert: Return to the Middle Way

By Christopher Hodgkins

This work explores George Herbert's poetry and prose, with the intention of placing them in their proper religious context. The author argues that Herbert, in rejecting Catholicism and Protestantism, saw Anglicanism, the faith in which he was reared, as an "exact middle way" between the two.
