John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: we were holding a few of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and elegance, which we have now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging with their viewers. Their work was generally misunderstood or dismissed for two hundreds of years, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a profound originality and a willingness to test that made much typical poetry look basically decorative. This collection provides the perfect introduction to this diverse band of fascinating poets.
