George Herbert and Post-Phenomenology: A Gift for Our Times
ISBN: 9783631661529 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This reading of George Herbert's poetry takes advantage of contemporary philosophical reflection on the givenness of being and of language.

The focus of this analysis falls on the essential Englishness of Herbert's poetry and its material weight: its visual concreteness, its musical harmonies, and its attention to human flesh made (English) word.
