Leland Ryken provides a clear pathway to understanding the \Great Works\ through this engaging series of short guidebooks. Evaluating the included selection of poetry from a distinctly Christian perspective, this guide to the devotional poetry of Donne, Herbert, and Milton includes commentary on the work, including Scriptural allusions, and provides prompts for reflection and discussion.
As devotional poetry is a different format than a single work, this Christian Guide to the Classics format differs slightly from other books in the series. In this guide:
The poems themselves are included, making this a selective anthology
Instead of a \plot summary,\ each poem is preceded by a section of tips for reading, such a summary of content and structure
A partial explication of the poetic texture follow each poem
Marginal notes only define difficult or archaic words that appear in a poem
Discussion questions are included
In lieu of an author and \act sheet\ this guide provides introductory pages for each poet at the beginning of their section.
Resources for further study are included
95 pages, softcover.
