The book "Platonism in English Poetry of the XVI-XVII Centuries" is a study written by John Smith Harrison. In his work, the author defends the thesis about the significance of Platonism in the work of English poets of the Renaissance and early Baroque eras. Harrison analyzes the poetry of famous artists of that time, looking at it through the prism of Platonic philosophy, which allows to discover new layers of meaning and understanding of poetic texts. The book contains deep reflections and reasoned interpretations, which make it an important addition to the study of English literature of the early modern era.
