This is the first compendious study of the influence of Platonism
on the English literary tradition, showing how English writers used
Platonic themes and images within their own imaginative work.
Source texts include Plato's Dialogues, and the writings of
Neoplatonists and the early Christians who were largely responsible
for assimilating Platonic ideas into a Christian culture; and there
are essays on more than thirty English authors from the Middle Ages
to the twentieth century, including Shakespeare, Milton, Blake,
Wordsworth, Yeats, Pound and Iris Murdoch. Each chronological
section has its own introduction to highlight how every age has
reconstructed Platonism to suit its own understanding of the world,
and there is a bibliographical guide to further reading.
Established experts and new writers over a range of disciplines
have worked together to produce the first comprehensive overview of
Platonism in English literature.
