The poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay combines spiritual intensity with intellectual sophistication in a way that may constitute an almost unimaginable unity or sensibility for present-day readers. Rejected by modernist critics as sentimental in her concerns and old-fashioned in her methods, Millay in fact gave traditional form a new lease on credibility, as she was a master at old forms as well as of flee verse. Perhaps the finest American lyricist of the 20th century, Millay was capable of incorporating a wide-ranging, sophisticated, and philosophically profound kind of thought into her emotional apprehensions.

This book is based on a most meticulous examination of medieval authorities and the growth of medieval theology is essentially told in their own words. What is more important, however, than the astounding number of primary sources the author has consulted or his sovereign familiarity with modern studies on his subject, is his ability to discern form and direction in the bewildering growth of medieval Christian doctrine and, by thoughtful emphasis and selection, to show the pattern of that development in a lucid and persuasive narrative.
