Compiled with scholarly precision, it gathers works from the era's towering figures — including John Donne, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton — alongside lesser-known voices that illuminate the full breadth of the century's poetic achievement. The selection chronicles the dramatic shifts in sensibility from the metaphysical wit and religious intensity of the early 1600s through the Restoration's more polished, classical restraint, illustrating how political upheaval, religious conflict, and philosophical change shaped the written word. The editors bring a rigorous academic intelligence to their choices, offering a curated reading experience that rewards both the casual poetry lover and the serious scholar. This essential volume remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the richness and complexity of seventeenth-century English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887877173467,"sku":"2026200007649-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5cd6848d-b231-4b5b-b12c-ac25b1de693a.png?v=1781747462","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007649-secondhand-the-oxford-book-of-seventeenth-century-verse","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
