George Herbert

George Herbert by TS Eliot, 34 pages

This short essay by Eliot on Herbert emphasizes the significance of the planned structure of Herbert's primary work, The Temple. Eliot also traces the influence of Donne and the Anglican liturgy on Herbert's poetry, and discusses the question of whether one must accept Herbert's religion to appreciate his poetry (Eliot's answer, predictably, is "No.").
