- Synopsis
- A timeless, little-known literary classic to engage a new generation of readers As the Black Death ravaged London in 1608, in the midst of societal chaos and tragedy, playwright Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah&’s Ark, a book containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of England. The prayers in this book bear witness to Dekker&’s deep faith with a power and poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve. Bringing Dekker&’s devotional classic back into print for the first time since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has annotated the prayers and modernized their language without sacrificing their enchanting beauty and simplicity. Hudson&’s substantive and illuminating introduction is a gem in itself.
