The Metaphysical Poets by Helen Gardner
John Milton, Thomas Carew, Sir William Davenant, Henry Vaughan, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Sir Walter Ralegh, Robert Southwell, John Donne and Richard Crashaw are some of the 17th century poets who became known as "metaphysical". In this anthology, Dame Helen Gardner has collected together those poets who, although never self consciously a school, did possess in common certain features of argument and powerful persuasion.
Helen Gardner is an historian of colonialism, anthropology and mission in the Pacific Islands and Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Patrick McConvell is an anthropologist and linguist with particular interests in Indigenous Australia, interdisciplinary prehistory and kinship. He is engaged with the ARC Discovery Project 'Kin and Skin' (AustKin).
