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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0582298350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780582298354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 6.19w x 0.75d","brand":"David Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809622880511,"sku":"9780582298354","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f39dfd2-1c8c-4047-902d-bb8efdb4b468.jpg?v=1707927011","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-metaphysical-poets-david-reid-9780582298354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
