The seventeenth century was a time of upheaval and change in England as the civil war raged and the monarchy was restored.
The leading literary figures of the day were John Donne, Andrew Marvell and George Herbert, whose work is now known as 'metaphysical'; John Dryden, whose satire still carries a vicious sting; and John Milton, admired by generations of readers.
From the worldliness of Ben Jonson to the mysticism of Thomas Traherne and the lustiness of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, this collection demonstrates the rich diversity of poetry from this fertile age.
