Title: The pulse of praise
First published: 1999
Description: "Julia Guernsey here addresses Herbert's poetics from a psychohistorical perspective, demonstrating what close attention to prosody can contribute to critical discussions about self-representation, self-Other relation, and self-transformation in The Temple."--BOOK JACKET.

"Guernsey draws on D. W. Winnicott's object relations model, which focuses on self-development in a relational context, to illuminate various senses of self and Other that Herbert's poems express discursively and formally. The book will appeal not only to Herbert scholars and other Renaissance critics but also to audiences interested in psychoanalysis and how it relates to literature, religion, culture, and poetics."--BOOK JACKET.
