O knihe
Poets & Mystics is a collection of essays and studies in which E. I. Watkin addresses theology, philosophy, and aesthetics while critically examining the lives and work of selected mystics and poets. Watkins looks at the Cambridge Platonism of John Smith, the controversial mysticism of Margery Kempe (at whose defense he staunchly stands); the verses of Ruth Pitter (a voice of traditional poeticism amidst the formal experimentation of the Modernists); and the seventeenth-century Welsh poet Henry Vaughan (whose classical work saw a revival of interest in the mid-nineteenth century). While Watkins acknowledges in his preface that the addition of discourses on Richard Crashaw and Thomas Goodwin are, "strictly speaking," not entitled to a place within the collection, their inclusion makes for a broad, intelligent work that discerns the element of mysticism at play in daily life. Not holding the same level of prominence today as do many of his contemporaries (such as Christopher Dawson, Jacques Maritain, and Martin D'Arcy, to name but a few), Watkin was nevertheless an important and influential figure in generating a revival of interest in Catholic arts and letters during the twentieth century. Poets & Mystics typifies his distinctly personal style and his robust philosophical approach to questions of art, beauty, and truth.
