The lively and engaging emblems within The Soul; Lover of God unite the 17th century poetry and art of two famous European authors; Madame Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon and Jesuit priest Herman Hugo. Guyon writes poetry describing the soul falling in love with the divine; while Hugorsquo;s illustrations imagine a description of the spiritual world. Charged with witchcraft by King Louis XIV; Madame Guyon kept this book during her incarceration in the Bastille before her legal vindication. Guyon and Hugo never met but they share the same yearning to love God; and they creatively capture how Divine Love might transform the willing soul. This book showcases the growing relationship between Anima; the soul; and Divine Love in the emblemsrsquo; first introduction to the English-speaking world.
