These lectures explore the rich tradition of English metrical
psalmody in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The first
lecture contextualises psalm versions by Wyatt and others into the
literary, political and theological context of Renaissance England
and focuses in particular on the Psalms' complex relationship with
monarchy. The second lecture traces the Reformation quest to
replace profane songs with holy and educational psalms, and
continues to explore the controversies over the church psalter in
the seventeenth century. The third lecture investigates the
enriching connection between metrical psalm translation and English
Renaissance literature.
