Style and faith
Synopsis
In this collection of essays, Geoffrey Hill explores the intricate relationship between literary style and religious faith. He examines how these two elements often diverge, even with the best intentions, through analyses of works like the Holy Bible and Hobbes's Leviathan. Hill also highlights instances in the works of Hooker, Burton, Herbert, Vaughan, and Donne where style and faith align, demonstrating how such accord elevates poetry and prose beyond mere comfort, making them enduring testaments to truth.
