Interpretation of metaphysical nouns

Metaphysics refers to a unique school of poetry that appeared in English literature in the17th century. John donne, an English poet, is the representative of this school. He is famous in the literary world for his clever use of "strange metaphors" in his poems.

Metaphysics was not paid enough attention to in the development of classicism in the18th century and romanticism in the19th century, and it was not fully affirmed in the literary world until the 20th century, which had a far-reaching impact on British and American literature in the 20th century.

Metaphysical characteristics

/kloc-Metaphysical poets in English literature in the 0 th and 7 th centuries have their own writing styles and characteristics. They write lyric poems with philosophical debate and reasoning, with strange and obscure words and unsmooth rhythm. Combine completely different images, look for hidden similarities from things that are not similar in appearance, and "bind the most nondescript ideas and concepts together" (so-called "whimsy").

They often express the contradiction between emotion and thought in exquisite and elegant forms, and combine classicism and romanticism well, which is also the characteristic of English Renaissance poetry.

Metaphysical school has a characteristic, that is, moralism, so it has a high degree of self-reliance. Metaphysics occupies the position of moral supremacy; Moreover, this moralism is religious. Just as scientism has a tendency that I call "scientific fetishism", metaphysics also has a strong religious color.
