Thanks to Karen Swallow Prior, I recently learned of a book by Christopher Stokes,
Romantic Prayer: Reinventing the Poetics of Devotion, 1773-1832
, published by Oxford University Press in 2021. Her
interview
with the author prompted me to acquire a copy of the book and read it. I urge those who are interested in the way we think and talk (and write) about prayer to do the same.
