Robert South, 1634-1716 : introduction to his life and sermons

Robert South (1634–1716) was one of the great Anglican writers and preachers of his age. Gerard Reedy's book, the first major study of South, makes a strong case for the importance of his sermons (their complexity, beauty and wit, and their place in the history of post-Restoration English literature).
