Event Type

Composed in prison and copied out later from memory, ‘The Spiritual Canticle’ of St John of the Cross is a long poem that was never published in his lifetime (1542-1591). Typically, the words track the relationship of the Soul to God in terms of a lover and the Beloved, drawing especially on the Song of Songs. In this morning’s session, Philip Harvey identifies main turning points in this relationship, with close readings of particular passages. The plan is to open up understanding of this remarkable and very personal poem.
