Publisher's Synopsis
The Prose Works of Robert Southwell is a collection of three works by the English poet and Jesuit priest, Robert Southwell. The first work, Mary Magdalen's Funeral Tears, is a meditation on the life and death of Mary Magdalene, one of the most prominent figures in the New Testament. The second work, The Triumphs Over Death, is a series of poems that explore the themes of mortality and the afterlife. The final work, An Epistle of Comfort, is a letter of consolation and encouragement written by Southwell to a friend who was suffering from grief and despair. Together, these works offer a glimpse into the religious and literary world of early modern England, and showcase Southwell's skill as a writer and theologian.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
