Henry Vaughan (Oxford Poetry Library)

One of the most important of the seventeenth-century Metaphysical Poets, Henry Vaughan is interesting not only for his own work, but for his imaginative use of the style of his predecessor, George Herbert. This collection presents the complete text of Silex Scitillans, including material in

both the 1650 and 1655 editions, and is the only edition of selected poems available.
