Do poetry and criticism matter in today »s world?
How can the poetry of the past help us tackle the changing nature of religious faith and national identity?

contemporary poets Jo Shapcott, Michael Symmons Roberts and Andrew Motion. Leading writers – including John Milbank, Salley Vickers and Sarah Apetrei, together with authors of

The Faerie Queene, as well as on its two premieres in St George »s Chapel, Windsor and Manchester Cathedral, and its sometimes controversial public reception.

Redcrosse, the volume triumphantly shows that a new poetic work really can address some of the most pressing concerns of our time.
