Cousins fills this gap with his critical history of the Catholic religious poets major phase in the English Renaissance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn studying the Catholic religious poets from Southwell to Crashaw, this book focuses on the interplay in their verse between natively English and Counter-Reformation devotional literary traditions. Cousins puts forward particularly two arguments: that most of the more important Catholic poets write verse which expresses a Christ-centred vision of reality; that the divine agape receives almost as much attention in the Catholic poets' verse as does devout eros. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Religious Poets Cousins\u003c\/i\u003e defends the work of the Catholic religious poets arguing that this literary tradition deserves closer examination and higher valuation than it has usually been given.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony D.
