Robert Ellrodt's Study Of Seven Poets - Springing From His Wide-ranging Three-volume Work, Les Poetes Metaphysiques Anglais - Challenges The Postmodernist Assumption That No Definite Or Constant Self Can Be Traced In The Works Of A Writer. Distinct Modes Of Self-awareness, Different Emphases In The Perception Of Time And Space, And Various Ways Of Grasping The Sensible And The Spiritual, The Human And The Divine, Jointly Or Separately Characterize The Minds Of Donne And George Herbert, Crashaw And Vaughan, Lord Herbert, Marvell, And Traherne.
