Poesie en religie : 1) gelykenisse ; 2) die religieuse tematiek in die gedigte van tagtig met spesifieke verwysing na T.T. Cloete se Job-gedigte

Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.This dissertation investigates the incidence of the religious thematics in the work of Afrikaans poets who published around the eighties of the previous century, with specific reference to the Job poems of T.T. Cloete. By using various theoretical works the concept religious was discussed as well as the character of a poem with a religious thematics.

Works of Du Buisson, Pretorius, Riccio, Santayana, Snyman, Van der Colf and others were used as the theoretical basis
