The Complete Poetry

A wonderful edition of Herbert’s poetry, edited by his acclaimed biographer John Drury, and including elegant new translations of his Latin verse by Victoria Moul

George Herbert wrote, but never published, some of the very greatest English poetry, recording in an astonishing variety of forms his inner experiences of grief, recovery, hope, despair, anger, fulfilment and - above all else - love. This volume, edited by John Drury, collects Herbert’s complete poetry - including such classics of English devotional poetry as ‘The Altar’, ‘Easter-Wings’ and ‘Love’. It also includes the verse Herbert wrote in Latin, newly translated into English by Victoria Moul.
