The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw, Volume II E-text prepared by Taavi Kalju, Rory OConor, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries (http://www.archive.org/details/toronto) "The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw, Volume II" by Richard Crashaw is a comprehensive collection of the poet's writings, including both his English and Latin poems, as well as an essay on his life and contributions to literature, likely compiled in the late 19th century. The works highlight his transition from Protestantism to Catholicism, exploring the theological and personal influences that shaped his faith and poetry. At the start of the volume, a preface by the editor, Rev. Alexander B. Grosart, outlines the intention behind the collection, expressing gratitude to contributors and noting the incorporation of previously unprinted works. The beginning delves into Crashaw's background, specifically referencing his father's influence, and establishes the thematic tension between the elder Crashaw's strong Protestant beliefs and Richard's eventual alignment with Roman Catholicism. The opening also hints at the cultural and poetic legacy Crashaw left behind, setting the tone for an exploration of his profound and often mystical reflections on faith, love, and divine beauty throughout the collected poems.
