The authors represented, including poets such as Michelangelo, St Francis of Assisi, Charles Pe?guy, Dante and Shakespeare, all possess one great and surprising quality in common: audacity. All of them in their work offer fresh and unforeseen perspectives on life and literature. Some of these authors are religious in the strict meaning of the word, their work indicating a devout turning away from the distractions of the world to focus on God. Others, in contrast, are poets whose work is distinguished by a remarkable visionary focus on the many small and great dramas of life, attending with bright, imaginative genius to what Shakespeare calls 'the mystery of things'."--Bloomsbury publishing. 606 $aEuropean poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReligion and poetry 606 $aVisions in literature 606 $aChristianity and literature 615 0$aEuropean poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReligion and poetry. 615 0$aVisions in literature. 615 0$aChristianity and literature. 676 $a809.1/9382 700 $aMurray$b Paul$f1947-$0955835 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793229703321 996 $aGod's spies$93682691 997 $aUNINA
