‘ Redemption’ makes use of elements of both Shakespearean (or English) sonnets as well as Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnets.įor example, the first two quatrains follow the rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet.

The aim of this paper is to clarify how Herbert and Vaughan, in spite of the cultural as well as political turmoil due to ghastly shade of Civil War, molded a new vista of cultural and sacramental identity of England with the different layers and textures of their devotional works. During that crisis of cultural-devotional identity of England, the identification and way of patronizing the God and His supremacy expounded by George Herbert (3 April, 1593-1 March, 1633) and Henry Vaughan (17 April 1621-23 April, 1695) managed the baffling minds of people, germinating the seeds of a new culture and identity of devotion into the heart of England.

People of vast materialistic things were unable and hardly remember to the epistemological and subtle concept of God. The charm and devotional practices, lust for God's grace was apparently different in the large and spectacular domain of the seventeenth century England. The evaluative analysis establishes the pervasive reality and challenges of spiritual suspension of man in between the visible and supernatural worlds and, likewise, the idea of repetition as the inherent quality of Christian faith demonstrating that suspension can be neutralised and transcended only in faith relived through repetition. The method in use is a close reading of the poetical work of Herbert in search of those poems that help crystallise his religious conception, which will then be read in light of the theoretical work of Kierkegaard to reveal certain existential aspects of The Temple. in other terms) in Kierkegaard’s two publications, Fear and Trembling and Repetition (both 1843). These concepts were detailed overtly or implicitly (i.e. The goal of this paper is to investigate the underlying themes from this collection in terms of Søren Kierkegaard’s concepts of suspension, spiritual doubt, the leap of faith, and repetition. The current work is concerned with the analysis of George Herbert’s (1593-1633) best-known opus magnum, his collection of poems, The Temple.
