{"product_id":"the-metaphysicals-and-milton","title":"The Metaphysicals and Milton","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an erudite but still readable book of Literary Criticism  comparing the two distinct styles , messages and motivations of the Metaphysical poets  to a more standard poetical norm of the time such as Milton. ' The term Metaphysical poets was coined by the critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of 17th century  English poets whose work was characterised by the inventive use of conceits, and by a greater emphasis on the spoken rather than lyrical quality of their verse.'[Wiki.]. Exploring the characteristics of these writers requires a persistent study of English poetry beyond a  brief description but this small book is a very good starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52280019288360,"sku":"51266","price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lovevintagebooks.com.au\/products\/the-metaphysicals-and-milton","provider":"Love Vintage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
