More years ago than I care to remember I was in Bemerton, and having examined everything in the little church, knocked on the door of a house that I thought must be the rectory. A very pleasant lady opened the door, and I said, "Excuse me, is this the rectory where the poet George Herbert once lived?" She said, "Yes, come in. You must be one of those American English professors." She showed me all over the house. I don't remember its floor-plan, but in the intervening years, sustained by his poems, I have imagined Herbert with keys in hand going from a large room into a smaller room and then into a closet off that and standing before a chest or cabinet inside that which contains something of so great value in so small a space that it is bound to burst forth.

When a disciple of John Ruskin, W. H. Mallock, portrayed his master under the sobriquet "Mr. Herbert" in a work entitled The New Republic, he chose a name as close to Ruskin's heart as anyone could have, for Mallock presented him under the name of a man whom Ruskin revered as one of his greatest teachers, the poet George Herbert.' The keenness of Mallock's choice has largely gone unnoticed by students of both Ruskin and Herbert. Repeatedly, Ruskin paid tribute to Herbert and often quoted from his works, especially "The Church-porch," upon which he drew fourteen times. He also quoted or commented upon a dozen of Herbert's lyrics. Yet, curiously enough, not until J. C.A. Rathmell's undocumented but defensible assertion that revised interest in the poetry of the Metaphysicals can be "traced in its embryonic stages through the early admiration of Ruskin and Hopkins for Herbert" did a modern critic suggest how deeply Herbert's work was woven into the fabric of Ruskin's life and thought.2 Herbert's thoughts indeed were vital thread in Ruskin's thinking and writing. Ruskin moreoverclaimed, none too convincingly, that Herbert's style influenced his, and Ruskin did some of his earliest criticism of literary subjects by commenting on Herbert and Bunyan.

Among the many verses that T.S. Eliot originally planned to include in The Waste Land but dropped or radically revised following Ezra Pound's advice is "The death of Saint Narcissus." This poem exists in two forms: a heavily corrected draft (which I will focus on) and a further revised version prepared for publication in Poetry in 1915 but not published until 1950 in Poems Written in Early Youth.y Eliot's Narcissus is "a dancer before God" (1. 17), and his life in the desert is in some ways an imaginative triumph: the quickly metamorphosing visions that fill the central part of the poem are momentarily stunning. But because he is motivated by a sensuous indulgence in suffering, his martyrdom is one of selfishness, not devotion, and his spiritual quest is a failure, ending "With the shadow in his mouth" (I. 39). This poem has been generally neglected, but Lyndall Gordon suggests very persuasively that "It is crucial to see 7"ne Waste Land, indeed all of Eliot's subsequent work, in the context of this early story of an aspiring saint," written during a time when the "consuming issues" of his life were "his longing for metamorphosis, his vision and loss of vision, and the avidity of his religious emotions."2

The evidence for Herbert's knowledge of the metrical psalms of Sir Philip Sidney and the Countess of Pembroke is mainly circumstantial, but still persuasive. Coburn Freer has summarized the main reasons for supposing "that Herbert had more than just a casual acquaintance" with the poems the wide circulation of the metrical psalter in manuscript, the great variety of lyrical forms used by the Sidneys and their "attempt to suit form to meaning." anc Herbert's family ties with the Sidneys, as well as "the proximity of Bemerton to Wilton."' Although apparently no concrete internal evidence has been found to lend weight to the argument, there are some intriguing, previously unnoticed parallels between Herbert's "Easter" and the Countess of Pembroke's early version of Psalm 108 (still in manuscript) which may be more than coincidental. The Countess's poem survives in a transcription of one of the most important manuscripts, which Professor Ringler suggests was a working copy (full of revisions) kept either at Wilton or at the Pembroke residence in London.2 Because Psalm 108 is composed, even in the Biblical text, of parts of Psalms 57 and 60, the Countess first simply combined the paraphrases she had already made of the corresponding verses from those earlier Psalms: Psalm 57:7-11 and Psalm 60:5-12 (altered slightly to accomodate the minor changes in the Biblical text).3 The poem thus falls into two distinct parts, each with its own verse form: a'0 b4 b4 c7 c7 a6 for Psalm 1081-5 and a'0 b8 a8 b6 for verses 6-1 3.4 The most interesting structural parallel between the Countess's poem and Herbert's Easter" is this simple division into two metrically different sections. There is less correspondence in details. Although Herbert also uses stanzas of six and four lines, the meters are different from those used by the Countess: a'0 a'0 b'0 b4 c'0 c10and, even more simply, a8 b8 a8 b8.

Numerous studies now exist on Herbert's reputation in his own century and later, the seminal ones being by Grosart, Hutchinson, and Summers.' My initial interest in Herbert's reputation led to doctoral work in 1967.2 Since then several scholarly articles and portions of books have added significantly to our knowledge of allusions to Herbert. Book-length studies of Herbert's critical reception also have appeared.3 I, too, continued to discover many references to him and concluded that a fully documented book on Herbert was needed — a research tool, as comprehensive and as accurate as possible, that would encompass chronological recording, in their first appearance, of all known seventeenth-century allusions in British books and manuscripts. In addition, an annotated bibliography of books and articles containing significant discoveries and commentary on such allusions and extensive indexes would make the tool particularly useful. I began in earnest in 1978 and completed the project in 1983 (making that yearthe ending date for scholarship and criticism noted in the book). The result has been published as The Herbert Allusion Book: Allusions to George Herbert in the Seventeenth Century (1986), a volume in the Texts and Studies series published by the University of North Carolina Press and Studies in Philology. My primary model was William Wells's Spenser Allusions of 1971-72 in the same series.
