The Metaphysical Poets
Author: David Reid
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317885708
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
The Metaphysical Poets provides an introduction to the work of six strikingly various and original poets- Donne, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan, Marvell and Traherne. By closely examining how the poems work, the book aims to help readers at all stages of proficiency and knowledge to enjoy and critically appreciate the ways in which fantastic and elaborate styles may express private intensities. The emphasis is on the differences covered by the term 'Metaphysical' and on the rich and strange diversity of the poets' inner lives. The book examines the expressive forms of interiority, the characteristic inward turn of Metaphysical wit, and compares the wit of its six poets with the non-introspective wit of poets such as Cowley, the Cavaliers and the Augustans. The discussion of each poet is preceded by a 'Life' in which the biographical facts, personal, cultural and political, are treated with a view to illuminating the concerns of the poems.

Six Metaphysical Poets

ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
"This guide focuses primarily on the sometimes difficult or obscure poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Abraham Cowley, Henry Vaughan, and Andrew Marvell, but it also deals with some of the lesser poets who can legitimately be included under the heading of metaphysical poets. Because this poetry is rich in philosophical ideas and metaphors, George Williamson helps the reader to understand the line-by-line meaning of particular poems before being bid to set out on a path to higher comprehension." "In addition, Williamson sketches the historical, intellectual, and rhetorical backgrounds of these poets, and the development of their literary reputations through the years. The nature of each poet is defined in his own terms before the individual poems are examined. Dimensions of wit are also scrutinized in the works of Henry King, John Cleveland, and John Wilmot Earl of Rochester, and Andrew Marvell's work is related to Restoration satire. The final chapter extends and refines our awareness of this mode of poetry and its ultimte course."--BOOK JACKET.
