Simon Jackson, Winner of 2011-2013 Chauncey Wood Dissertation Award, publishes with Cambridge University Press: George Herbert and Early Modern Musical Culture (2022)

 

George Herbert and Early Modern Musical Culture is that rarest of things – a triumph of learned, insightful interdisciplinarity. Jackson writes with equal sensitivity on music, verse, and biography, and tunes all three into a beautiful critical consort. His book is a landmark achievement in the study of Herbert and of early seventeenth-century artistic culture – a must for every lover and scholar of Herbert and his circle.”
