The Metaphysical Poets: A ChronologyG.K. Hall, 1994 - Počet stran: 227 "The first book-length chronology of its kind, The Metaphysical Poets: A Chronology, covers the lives and careers of the poets John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell, Henry Vaughan, and Thomas Traherne. This volume not only brings out the common threads in these six literary lives by listing the known and probable activities of each poet year by year, but also documents major events in the religious, political, and social history of the time. Stretching for more than a century (1572-1695), this chronology illuminates the forces that shaped the lives of these poets and the course of English history. Complete with informative introduction, biographical sketches of recurrent figures, bibliography, and comprehensive index, The Metaphysical Poets: A Chronology is destined to become an essential resource for beginning students and established scholars alike."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
