Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
1903
Published in 1903, 'Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries' by John Smith Harrison is a scholarly examination of the influence of Platonic philosophy on early modern English poetry. The work focuses on how poets like Edmund Spenser integrated themes of love, beauty, and moral ideals derived from Platonic thought into their writings. Harrison explores the collective impact of Platonism on the poetic landscape, particularly through allegorical characters such as Una in 'The Faerie Queene.' This treatise provides insights into the spiritual and ethical frameworks that shaped the poetry of the Renaissance in England.
