Summary: affordable, beautiful edition of GREAT poetry
Review: George Herbert is hard to find, and the standard Hutchinson edition is expensive and weighty. This new Everyman edition is both affordable and compact, without sacrificing quality. It's beautifully printed, elegantly bound, accurately arranged and intelligently footnoted. I was thrilled to come across it and have bought several editions so that I could introduce friends to the insight and beauty of this profound poet. A must for anyone who loves poetry and everyone who seeks God.

Summary: a fine and well-annotated one-volume Herbert
Review: This is a first-rate edition: a carefully-edited text that includes Herbert's prose works, and Walton's biography. The intro and notes by Slater are terrific, meant for the general reader, infor- mative and graceful. The best inexpensive edition of this wonderful poet now in print.
