Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on renaissance to restoration Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! The seventeenth-century poetry is marked by the opposition of two main forces differing in an array of religious, political and cultural issues1 – cavalier poetry and metaphysical school. The former were predominantly the members of royalty supporting the reign of the king, while the latter were mainly religious people belonging to middle class and advocating puritanism in Protestantism. Thereby, cavalier and metaphysical poetic schools are recognized as prevailing tendencies in poetry of English Renaissance. Existing side by side, the two schools were supported by certain philosophical and religious ideas and, despite having a number of similarities, were rather different in many aspects of stylistics. Moreover, cavalier poetry might be called more secular and closer to hedonistic values.
Of course, the two schools are similar in terms of general time frame and historical background as well as of the general thematic framework (for instance, representatives of both schools addressed such eternal topics as love, beauty, life and death etc.). In addition, the motif of ‘carpe diem’ was cultivated in both schools: good examples are Marvell’s ‘To His Coy Mistress’ and Herrick’s ‘To the Virgins’. However, it is a wide range of differences that distinguishes cavaliers from metaphysical school.
The difference arresting the reader’s attention at once is the use of form and structure in the two schools. Metaphysical poetry is rather analytical with its structure being mainly complex: use of long sentences incorporating several ideas is common. In Andrew Marvell’s poem ‘A Dialogue between the Soul and Body’, a large part of the stanza might be constituted by a single sentence presenting several thoughts at once: “Which, stretch’d upright, impales me so // That mine own precipice I go.
