FOCUS ON . . .
Two major groups of poets appeared during the Renaissance—metaphysical
and Cavalier. Metaphysical poets wrote highly intellectual poems
characterized by complex thought, paradox, natural rhythms, plain language,
and, especially, the conceit, or a comparison between two very
unlike things. The best-known of the metaphysical poets was John
Donne, author of such intriguing and complex poems as “The
Canonization” and “The Flea.”
≠ The Cavalier poets were English gentlemen who were supporters
of King Charles I. Their poetry, primarily about such dashing subjects as
love, war, and honor, was influenced by the poetry of their predecessors
Ben Jonson and John Donne. The most famous of the Cavalier poets
was Sir John Suckling, known for such witty verses as “Loving and
Beloved” and “The Constant Lover.”
