More about the book

The study explores how John Donne, Aemilia Lanyer, and John Milton each engage with and transform the Judeo-Christian tradition of the sacred feminine in their poetry. Central figures such as divine Wisdom and the Blessed Virgin Mary play crucial roles in their works. The poets emphasize a gendered relationship between God and humanity, portraying God as father and bridegroom, while depicting the human soul and the church as daughter and bride. This analysis reveals their deep investment in scriptural themes and the reimagining of feminine divinity.
