Abstract
Barsoom Fikry Barsoom. "Metaphysical Aspects in Three Modern Poets With Special Reference to Their Themes, Style and Technique." Ph. D. Thesis. Women's College for Arts, Science and Education. Department of English Language and Literature. Ain Shams University.
This study aims at throwing light on the increasing interest in Metaphysical poetry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It also attempts to apply the major Metaphysical technical and thematic aspects to three remarkable Modern poets, namely, T; S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. To illustrate the affinity between the seventeenth century Metaphysical poets and the Moderns under investigation, each Modern is put side by side to one or more of the old Metaphysical poets, especially John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Henry Vaughan and George Herbert.
To help the reader understand this special interest in the poetry of the Metaphysical poets in the Modern age, Chapter One of this thesis attempts to relate the two eras: the late sixteenth century and early seventeenth centuries on the one hand and the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries on the other. Here, it focuses on the similar social, political, economic and religious aspects that could link the two.
Chapter Two deals with the common technical and thematic aspects that characterize the Metaphysical school of the seventeenth century. This chapter gives special importance to those aspects that could be applied to the three Modern poets under investigation.
As for Chapter Three, it attempts to apply some of the Metaphysical themes and techniques, that have been tackled in Chapter Two, to some of the poetry of T. S. Eliot.
