Article: Political Theology in the Poetry of Richard Crashaw
Just published: Jayme M. Yeo (Rice University), "Political Theology in the Poetry of Richard Crashaw" ("Literature and Theology", 25 [4], December 2011: pp. 393-406).
Quote: "Richard Crashaw is not normally considered a political poet. And yet, he wrote a number of early poems on the British monarchy ... This article demonstrates that the theology of 'The Flaming Heart' informs a deeply political project, in which mystical union with God is reimagined as a fundamental encounter with the other that forms the basis for an ideal society."
