This book provides a cognitive analysis of the poetry of George Herbert (1593-1633). From Herbert’s own thinking, recorded in his prose treatises, can be deduced that his poems should serve a specific function: teaching self-knowledge to his readers. The cognitive framework applied here can serve to explain this function.
