Enjoying the World: The Rediscovery of Thomas Traherne

People have been inspired by Thomas Traherne's poetry and prose, but few know about the man and his world. This book relates his vision to today's people's search for a new way of living in harmony with nature. The author sets Traherne against his background of intellectual and political turmoil and religious strife. He examines his ideas and contribution to the literary and cultural world and looks at reasons why his voice is regarded as a prophetic one today.
