ABSTRACT
D.L.Jeffrey, ed., A Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature* (Grand Rapids, 1992), is a very useful guide with bibliographies. See also R. Alter and F.Kermode, eds, The Literary Guide to the Bible* (London, 1987). For medieval and Reformation biblical interpretation see the continuing series by G.R.Evans, The Language and Logic of the Bible: The Earlier Middle Ages (Cambridge, 1984) and The Road to Reformation (Cambridge, 1985). On literary aspects see E.Miner, ed., Literary Uses of Typology from the Late Middle Ages to the Present (Princeton, 1977), and P.J.Korshin, Typologies in England 1650-1820 (Princeton, 1982), a very detailed account which is also relevant for the earlier seventeenth century. Studies of biblical interpretation by specific poets include M.A.Radzinowicz, Milton’s Epics and the Book of Psalms (Princeton, 1989), J.H.Sims and L.Ryken, eds, Milton and Scriptural Tradition (Columbia, Mo., 1984), and D.R.Dickson, The Fountain of Living Waters: The Typology of the Waters of Life in Herbert, Vaughan, and Traherne (Columbia, Mo., 1987).
