Description: (From the back cover) THOMAS TRAHERNE: SELECTED POEMS AND PROSE EDITED BY ALAN BRADFORD I will utter Things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the editld. This Seange yet Common; Forerunner of Blake and Wordsworth, Thomas Traherne (1637-74) is unlikely to have been read by either poet, for the discovery of his major poetry and prose constitutes one of the luckiest and most exciting detective stories in twentieth-century literary history, and it is still continuing. For this Penguin edition Dr Bradford includes poems from the Dobell folio, Poems of Felicity, and selections from the prose masterpiece Centuries of Meditations. They reveal Traherne the great mystic, happy, idiosyncratic and sublime. 'He had ... in the highest degree all that we mean by vision. No man ever lived in a vaster world than Traherne, or beheld more magnificent drama in the cosmos, wrote Gladys Wade. 'He had passion and sincerity; he had culture and breadth of experience... he had originality and intellectual force, so that nothing he wrote could be trivial or commonplace'.
