The Typological Water-Cycle in The Poetry of Herbert, Vaughan, and Traherne
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis dissertation shows that the typological water-cycle--which describes the circuit of the waters of life from Christ to man and back again--is an important pattern of imagery in the poetry of Herbert, Vaughan, and Traherne. As in the case with other devotional poets of the seventeenth-century, they rely heavily on biblical poetics and modes of analysis; I argue that the metaphor of the water-cycle has its origins in the complex typology of biblical water-imagery.
