Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: (Columbia University Studies in Comparative Literature)

This book attempts to explain the nature of the influence of Platonism on English poetry, exclusive of drama, of the 16th and 17th centuries. The subject is not treated from the standpoint of the individual poet but, rather, the whole body of English poetry of the period is interpreted as an integral output of the spiritual thought and life of the time.John Smith Harrison is the author of 'Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: (Columbia University Studies in Comparative Literature)', published 1980 under ISBN 9780313223747 and ISBN 0313223742.
