Works of Thomas Traherne

Thomas Traherne, a clergyman of the Church of England during the Restoration, was little known until the early twentieth century, when his poetry and Centuries of Meditations were discovered. There have been since miscellaneous publications of his poetry and devotional writings.

The Works of Thomas Traherne brings together all of Traherne’s extant works in a definitive, printed edition for the first time. It includes both his published and unpublished works, including his notebooks, presenting them insofar as possible by manuscript, giving due attention to their physical aspects and to their integrity as manuscript books.
