| Abstract: |
The sixth chapter of the book monitors the birth of Christian poetry, providing characteristic texts ecquipped with analytic introductions and commentary. These amply illustrate the affinities and innovations of early Christian poetry with regard to the secular tradition, literary and philosophical. Supporting material includes Sibylla the Cymaean by Michelangelo as well as the poem Hellen by George Seferis.
