Disciplinary Measures from the Metrical Psalms to Milton studies the relationship between English poetry and church discipline in four carefully chosen bodies of poetry written between the Reformation and the death of John Milton. The book argues that while poetry can help us to understand the oppressive potential of church discipline that many theorists and historians have stressed, it can also help us to recover a more positive sense of discipline as a spiritual cure.
