  abstract: Reading, Desire, and the Eucharist analyzes the work of prominent early modern writers, including John Milton, Richard Crashaw, John Donne and George Herbert, whose religious poetry presented parallels between sacramental desire and the act of understanding written texts. Netzley finds that by directing devotees to crave spiritual rather than worldly goods, these poets questioned ideas not only of what people should desire, but also how they should engage in the act of yearning. Challenging fundamental assumptions of literary criticism, Reading, Desire, and the Eucharist shows how poetry can encourage love for its own sake, rather than in the hopes of salvation.
  table of contents: Take and taste, take and read: desiring, Rrading, and taking presence in George Herbert's The Temple -- Reading indistinction: desire, indistinguishability, and metonymic reading in Richard Crashaw's Religious Lyrics -- Loving fear: afirmative anxiety in John Donne's divine poems -- Desiring what has already happened: reading prolepsis and immanence in John Milton's early poems and Paradise Regained.
