Language Recreated: Seventeenth-Century Metaphorists and the Act of Metaphor

By Harold Skulsky

A contribution to the study of metaphor, this book examines the way figurative language behaves in a major tradition of English poetry: 17th- century lyric. The poets of this tradition - Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Traherne, among others - are often called the Metaphysicals, Harold Skulsky notes, but could more aptly be named the Metaphorists.
