Publisher Comments:

Featuring more erotic and libertine poems, more political poems, and more poems by women, this newly revised selection of poems by the greatest poets of the seventeenth century offers a generous sampling of John Donne as well as poems by George Herbert, John Milton, Anne Bradstreet, Richard Crashaw, Henry Vaughan, Andrew Marvell, the Earl of Rochester, and many more.

• Includes chronology, suggestions for further reading, explanatory notes, and indexes of titles and of first lines

Synopsis:

Spanning the Elizabethan age to the Restoration and beyond, Metaphysical poetry reacted to a time of stratling progress, scientific discovery and deep religious uncertainty.
