Summary "The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw, Volume I" by Richard Crashaw is a collection of poetry written in the mid-17th century. This compilation showcases both sacred and secular poems from Crashaw, who is recognized for his devout and expressive verses deeply imbued with religious themes and insights. The work includes notable pieces like "Steps to the Temple" and "The Delights of the Muses," reflecting the author’s profound connection to spirituality and the beauty of nature. The opening of the book introduces readers to a comprehensive edition that not only serves to collect previously published works but also to shed light on lesser-known poems and those unpublished until now. It begins with a dedication to influential figures, followed by a preface discussing the significance of Crashaw's poetry as a crucial linking point between the poetic expression of the era and its spiritual undercurrents. The editor, Alexander B. Grosart, emphasizes the rich array of content and the unique qualities of Crashaw's writing, framing it as a pathway for readers to engage in higher thoughts and divine contemplation through poetry.
