The Reformation changed forever how the Eucharistic sacrament was understood. This study of six canonical early modern lyric poets - Southwell, Donne, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan and Milton - traces the literary afterlife of one of the greatest doctrinal shifts in English history, and illuminates its continued importance well into the seventeenth century.
