Description
A collection of metaphysical poetry from the Elizabethan age to the Restoration period, this anthology features tightly argued lyrics and poems that explore love, divine themes, and the uncertainty of an age. Poets such as John Donne, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton are joined by lesser-known but equally fascinating poets like Anne Bradstreet, Katherine Philips, and Thomas Traherne. The poems in this collection showcase their use of startling metaphors, imagery, and language to express the uncertainty and desire for originality that defined the era. This anthology is a valuable resource for students of English literature and anyone interested in exploring the key works of Renaissance verse. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition has been enhanced with introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
