The present monograph Concepts of Harmony in Five Metaphysical
Poets analyses the significance of Pythagorean cosmology for the
understanding the world and man in the English Renaissance. The
author perceives Pythagorean cosmology as a key concept for the
arts in the Renaissance, especially music and poetry. A gradual
wane in the belief of the concept of a universal cosmic harmony is
markedly reflected in the work of the five major "metaphysical
poets" under study: Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, Marvell and Crashaw.
They struggle to keep the metaphorical potency of the Pythagorean
concept while stressing the process of their language experiments.
However, this leads to a general metaphorization of the world: the
mission of the poet shifts from interpreting universal truths about
the world and the human fate in it to keeping the power of poetic
language as the very instrument of such metaphorization. In that
sense, this struggle for harmonising the "un-musical"or "mute"
nature of the universe has ever since become one of the main
challenges of poetry.
