Anglican Conformists such as Lancelot Andrewes and Jeremy Taylor upheld set forms of prayer in the Book of Common Prayer, a book designed to unite the nation in worship. Puritan Reformers and Dissenters such as John Milton and John Bunyan rejected the prayer book and advocated for extemporaneous or free prayer. In 1645, the mainly Puritan Long Parliament proscribed the Book of Common Prayer and dismantled the Anglican Church in the midst of civil war. This led Anglican poets and liturgists to defend their tradition with energy and erudition in print. In 1662, with monarchy restored, the mainly Anglican Cavalier Parliament reinstated the Church and its prayer book to impose religious uniformity. This galvanized English Nonconformity and Dissent and gave rise to a vibrant literary counter-tradition. Addressing this fascinating history, David Gay examines competing claims to spiritual gifts and graces in polemical texts and their influence on prayer and poetry. Amid the contention of differing voices, the disputed connection of poetry and prayer, imagination and religion, emerges as a central tension in early modern literature and culture."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aChristian poetry, English$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolemics in literature 606 $aPrayer in literature 606 $aPrayer$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligion and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Renaissance$2bisacsh 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aAnglican. 610 $aBook of Common Prayer. 610 $aDissent and Nonconformity. 610 $aJeremy Taylor. 610 $aJohn Bunyan. 610 $aJohn Milton. 610 $aLancelot Andrewes. 610 $aPuritan. 610 $aQuakers. 610 $aRenaissance. 610 $ahistory of prayer. 610 $apoetry and liturgy. 610 $aseventeenth century. 615 0$aChristian poetry, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolemics in literature. 615 0$aPrayer in literature. 615 0$aPrayer$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Renaissance. 676 $a820.9/3823 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aGay$b David, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0117744 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910862077103321 996 $aGifts and Graces$94167738 997 $aUNINA
