This classic anthology, first published in 1921, has been instrumental in reviving interest in the seventeenth-century metaphysical poets and in securing for them the high reputation they now enjoy. This new edition includes the same poems as the original--love poems, divine poems, elegies, satires, epistles, and meditations by over twenty-five different poets ranging from Suckling and Donne to Marvell and Herbert. Grierson's brilliant introductory essay is included, while Alastair Fowler has contributed a new introduction and notes and modernized the spellings throughout.

The series provides a variety of approaches to both classical and contemporary writers of Britain and Ireland. This volume contains both newly commissioned and reprinted material. Marotti's introduction briefly summarizes the history of Donne's inauguration into the modernist canon following Grierson's 1921 edition of Metaphysical Lyrics and Poems of the Seventeenth Century. The seven selected essays, all published since 1977, include a new treatment written especially for this volume by Ronald Corthell. Together, the essays explore a variety of contemporary critical stances to Donne's work.

These poems are done by 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it.
