The Poets All are witty John Donne George Herbert Richard Crashaw Andrew Marvell Henry Vaughan Metaphysical Poetry not a genre but a coined term by Samuel Johnson who lumped the 17th Century poets together. He noted the poets shared many common characteristics, especially ones of wit and elaborate style.

Characteristics Large doses of wit Examine serious questions Humorous Shocking Ordinary speech with paradoxes and puns Conceits or weird comparisons of unlikely things Common themes – religious sentiment, carpe diem (seize the day), humanity of life Make you think about both thought and feeling

All conversations about metaphysical poetry must begin with John Donne Considered the founder of metaphysical poetry Master of metaphysical conceit Poet, lawyer, priest, satirist Poetry reflects diversity Works are as religious as they funny Examined the idea of true religion Considered a womanizer even though he was religious Wrote both erotic and secular poems Cynical and ironic poetry

John Donne was born in London 1572 into a devout Roman Catholic household They suffered heavily for their loyalty to the Catholic Church He was a Catholic growing up in Protestant England during decades when anti-Roman feeling reached new heights. At some point in the 1590’s, having returned to London with travels abroad, he converted to the English church.
