Four Metaphysical Poets

1997

Concentrating on the major works of Dofine, Marvell, Vaughan and Herbert, Richard Willmott has provided an anthology of metaphysical verse for readers coming to the poetry for the first time. Metaphysical poetry is notorious for its 'difficulty'; in this selection Richard Willmott provides detailed explanatory notes giving in depth information on the period, the poets and 'metaphysical style' and, to ensure a full understanding, line by line exegesis of the poems themselves is given where necessary. The anthology contains about 20-25 poems for each poet represented and a further section of other contemporary poetry which elucidates themes or approaches in the work of the four main poets in the collection and encourages readers to relate an individual poem to a broader context.

Arthur Hugh Clough was the son of a Liverpool cotton merchant who moved the family to South Carolina when he was four. He returned to England to attend Rugby School under Thomas Arnold and then Balliol College, Oxford. At Oxford the influence of W.G. Ward and Newman destroyed his Anglican faith without providing a substitute. He was elected to a Fellowship at Oriel College in 1842, but resigned his tutorship on religious grounds in 1849 and spent the subsequent year in Paris and then Rome. After two years as head of University Hall in London he visited the USA, returning to an examinership in the Education Office. He also worked for his relation Florence Nightingale. He died of a fever and is buried in Florence.
