Abstract
- Andrew Young (1885–1971) belongs to the English tradition of the 'parson poet'. Poetry written by serving clergy often provides both a personal perspective on Christianity, free of strict orthodoxy, and a reflection of Christianity's place in the prevailing culture. Most of Young's work consisted of short poems with only occasional Christian reference. Later in life he abandoned short poems and wrote two long works exploring a visionary afterlife. This paper argues that the key to these two long poems, important but neglected examples of mid-twentieth-century Christian literature, is a personal re-imagining of the Trinity.
