Abstract

It was the purpose of this study to collect as many as possible of the Marian lyrics written in England between the years 1500 and 1900 and select representative works from each period with a view to comparing them (1) as to those phases of Mariology most frequently treated in each era; (2) as to the effect exercised by religious developments in England upon the theme; and (3) as to the differences or similarities in the treatment of Mary by Catholic and non-Catholic poets of each period.
