About this book

The idea that poetry and prophecy are intimately related has been a central motif in Western literary history. Since the Renaissance, the connections perceived between biblical prophecy and poetry have frequently been invoked to elevate poetry to the highest level of human accomplishment. Poetry and Prophecy illuminates the sources of this tradition, ranging over a number of literatures and cultures.
