This essay offers a reading of Anne Vaughan Lock’s Meditation of a Penitent Sinner (1560) with a special emphasis on the historical and religious significance of Lock’s use of affective devotional language. Meditation has long been discussed as a ground-breaking work in which Lock transforms Psalm 51, Miserere mei Deus, the most frequently recited penitential Psalm, into an expanded prayer as well as a paraphrase written in the manner of a sequential Petrarchan sonnet. Literary critics and historians have focused on the extent to which Lock appropriates Calvinist doctrine and rhetoric while employing this secular literary genre. What remains largely neglected is the way Lock’s affective language complicates the problem of prayer language in mid sixteenth-century England. Lock published Meditation just one year after the publication of the Elizabethan Book of Common Prayer and official Primer, both of which appeared in 1559 following England’s return to Protestantism. Together, these two works offered an authorized form and lexicon of prayer that subsumed individual emotions and verbal expressions under a mediated collective ‘common’ language of prayer. Read in dialogue with these contemporary works of officially sanctioned devotional language, Lock’s Meditation takes on a new significance due to its emphasis on affect and privacy in prayer. Analyzing the ways in which Lock brings the feelings of the penitential sinner into sharp focus through simple and yet varying poetic devices, I argue that Lock’s use of affective devotional language in this period of religious and liturgical transition engages with contested contemporary negotiations over the language of prayer.

This essay offers a reading of Anne Vaughan Lock’s Meditation of a Penitent Sinner (1560) with a special emphasis on the historical and religious significance of Lock’s use of affective devotional language.

Literary critics and historians have focused on the extent to which Lock appropriates Calvinist doctrine and rhetoric while employing this secular literary genre. What remains largely neglected is the way Lock’s affective language complicates the problem of prayer language in mid sixteenth-century England. Lock published Meditation just one year after the publication of the Elizabethan Book of Common Prayer and official Primer, both of which appeared in 1559 following England’s return to Protestantism.
