Metaphysical Poetry of Metaphysical School
Metaphysical poems mainly include love poems, religious poems, elegies, object-chanting poems, satirical poems and meditation poems. Love poems absorb images from science, philosophy and theology through reasoning and debate, which reflects the dissatisfaction with Petrarch-style "sweet" lyric poems popular in the Renaissance. Religious poems and other poems mostly focus on the anguish, doubt, exploration and reconciliation of faith. Metaphysical poetry reflects that the ideas of affirming life, praising love and emancipating individuality in the humanistic tradition in the early17th century were confronted with the crisis of the increasingly reactionary Stuart dynasty and the resurgence of old religions. The artistic conception of metaphysical poetry is in line with the widespread suspicion after the First World War, the dissatisfaction with Victoria and Edward's warm and vulgar moral concepts, and the writer's pursuit of new life experiences and expressions, so it is popular.
