CHRISTIAN POETRY IN THE POST-CHRISTIAN DAY GEOF...

Despite Nietzsche's predictions  Christianity has not faded away  Christianity and
post-Christianity exist alongside each other in the Western world. But today's Christian poet
speaks to an audience that often has little understanding of the language  symbols and
theological concepts that inform his or her work. This study looks selectively at the work of
three poets  two grounded in the Anglican and one in the English Roman Catholic tradition 
attempting to show how each has responded to this situation. Geoffrey Hill  R. S. Thomas and
Elizabeth Jennings  each in different and inventive ways  draw on the rich resources of
Christian culture  literary  liturgical  mystical and devotional  reaching far back into
English tradition as well as outside it  and by implication revealing an element of regret at
the consequences of the English Reformation.
