Early Modern Metaphysical Literature: Nature, Custom and Strange Desires

By Michael Morgan Holmes

Book Overview

Examining poetry and prose by Donne, Marvell, Lanyer, Crashaw, and Edward Herbert, this book challenges readers to recognize the provocative strangeness of these writings in their original contexts and today.
