The Poetical Works of Thomas Traherne, 1636?–1674

This collection of Traherne’s poetry was assembled and published for the first time by Bertram Dobell at the turn of the twentieth century. Dobell acquired the original manuscripts from a man who found them in a “barrow of books about to be trashed.” The text contains 53 poems from Traherne, including poems from his Christian Ethics, and several short prose writings.
