A collectible new series of Penguin Classics: striking, cloth-bound editions of ten beloved poets, each presenting the most famous book of verses by each poet as originally published. Designed by the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith and beautifully crafted, these slender, A-format books are the perfect gift editions for poetry lovers.
Upon his death, George Herbert entrusted the manuscript of The Temple to his friend Nicholas Ferrar, asking him to publish it if he deemed it worthy. Herbert died in 1633, and the collection was published the same year to great acclaim, becoming one of the most beloved collections in the English language.
The Temple is a stunning collection of verses: an extensive meditation on the relationship between man and God, characterized by Herbert's purity and direct writing style. It includes beloved poems like 'The Collar', 'The Pearl', and 'Love', with the beautiful opening lines: 'Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back, / Guilty of dust and sin'.
