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.
