Emblems, Divine and Moral is a classic collection of religious poetry and illustrations by Francis Quarles, a prominent 17th-century English poet. This edition, printed in 1818, revives Quarles's allegorical verses, each accompanied by an emblematic illustration intended to convey a moral or spiritual lesson.
The emblems, rich in symbolism, serve as visual metaphors for theological concepts and moral virtues, inviting readers to contemplate deeper spiritual truths. Quarles's work reflects the religious sensibilities of his time and offers a blend of piety, wit, and artistic expression. His poems use vivid imagery and accessible language to explore themes of faith, repentance, and divine love.
This collection appeals to readers interested in religious poetry, emblem books, and the cultural and literary history of the 17th century. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of art, literature, and religious thought in early modern England.
