- Abstract
Simon Jackson's study, "George Herbert and Early Modern Musical Culture," explores the poetry of George Herbert within various contexts that were relevant to him during the early modern period. Jackson examines the relationship between Herbert's work and the cultural milieu in which it emerged, highlighting the implicit dialogue between Herbert and his associates. The study delves into the musical and poetic culture at Wilton House, the seat of William Herbert, Third Earl of Pembroke, and explores the interconnectedness of poets and composers during this time. Jackson also discusses the intertextuality in Herbert's poetry and its connections to the Anglican liturgy, metrical psalm translation, and courtly masques. The book provides a close reading of Herbert's poetry and its musical implications, although it lacks sufficient musical examples. Overall, the study offers valuable insights into the musical culture of Herbert's time and its influence on his poetry.
