ABSTRACT
Reed, an assistant professor at Yale College, in his ambitious survey of the development of English lyric poetry, reiterated many of the long-standing prejudices against Herbert but sanctioned also his ‘struggle for holiness’ and recognised in particular the novelty of the poet’s efforts. See also above, p. 32.
