Description
The seventeenth-century Metaphysical Poets, including John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Thomas Traherne, and Henry Vaughn, are still beloved today for their inventive metaphors and agile intelligence. This volume contains a collection of the finest contemporary criticism of the Metaphysical Poets, including an introductory essay from literary scholar Harold Bloom, a bibliography, a chronology, and an index. This title in the ""Bloom's Modern Critical Views"" series presents a well-rounded critical portrait of a group of influential writers by examining their body of work through eight to 12 full-length essays.
