Netzley finds that by directing devotees to crave spiritual rather than worldly goods, these poets questioned ideas not only of what people should desire, but also how they should engage in the act of yearning. Challenging fundamental assumptions of literary criticism, Reading, Desire, and the Eucharist shows how poetry can encourage love for its own sake, rather than in the hopes of salvation."--Pub. desc. 330 $a"The courtly love tradition had a great influence on the themes of religious poetry - just as an absent beloved could be longed for passionately, so too could a distant God be the subject of desire. But when authors began to perceive God as immanently available, did the nature and interpretation of devotional verse change? Ryan Netzley argues that early modern religious lyrics presented both desire and reading as free, loving activities, rather than as endless struggles or dramatic quests. 606 $aChristian poetry, English$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLord's Supper in literature 606 $aGod in literature 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian poetry, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLord's Supper in literature. 615 0$aGod in literature. 676 $a821/.409382 700 $aNetzley$b Ryan$f1972-$01574632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778945403321 996 $aReading, desire, and the Eucharist in early modern religious poetry$93851014 997 $aUNINA
