About the Book

The Anglo-Irish poet Aubrey De Vere (1814-1902) wrote most of his poems for Mary at the request of Pope Pius IX, earning him the title of "Our Lady's Laureate." They are remarkable both for their lyrical grace, freshness and theological precision. Phillip Medhurst has selected one hundred of his best, focussed on the hidden life and the heavenly work of the "Dei Genetrix." . . . . . . . . . A friend of eminent Catholic coverts Newman, Manning and Vaughan, as well as to poets Wordsworth and Tennyson, De Vere converted to Catholicism in 1851. Having studied metaphysics at university, and a champion in verse of historic Irish culture, he devoted the rest his life to writing poetry in a lyrical Romantic vein and essays on matters "literary and ethical." Although unmarried, he remained a layman. The poems here selected express his whole-hearted and intelligent assent to the heavenly role of Mary and the meaning of her life as expressed in the freshly-promulgated dogma of he Immaculate Conception (1854). Phillip Medhurst (born 1948), a graduate in English literature from the University of Oxford and a former Anglican priest, converted to Catholicism in 1988. After a distinguished career as a religious educator has since established himself as poet and theological writer. This revised edition includes illustrations by 17th century French artist Jacques Stella, and English translations of Latin texts recounting the beginning and end of Mary's earthly life.
About the Author: Anglo-Irish poet Aubrey De Vere (1814-1902) studied metaphysics at university, and honed his literary talent by writing poetry in the manner of his friend Wordsworth. Having converted to Catholicism in 1851, this selection from his numerous poems which centre on devotion to the Virgin Mary expresses his enthusiastic and intelligent assent to the Church's understanding of the meaning of her life and role as expressed in the then freshly-promulgated dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Phillip Medhurst (born 1948), a former Anglican priest, converted to Catholicism in 1988. He has since established himself as a religious educator, poet and writer on Christian theology. Jacques Stella (1596 - 1657) was a French painter in the school of Poussin. The illustrations are from drawings by engraved by Francesco Polanzani and published in 1756. Another set was engraved by Venanzio Monaldini and published in 1783. The pictures in this publication are the best preserved from both sets in the Harry Kossuth collection. The appendices consist of English translations of extracts (originals in Latin) from "The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew" recounted by Saint Jerome (340-420) and from the compilation known as the "Golden Legend" ("Legenda Aurea") by the Archbishop of Genoa Jacobus da Voragine (1230-1298).
