| 520 | _a"Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries" by John Smith Harrison is a scholarly treatise examining the influence of Platonic philosophy on English poetry, written during the early 20th century. The work articulates how Platonism shaped the spiritual and ethical framework of poets from that period, focusing specifically on poets like Edmund Spenser. The book delves into themes of love, beauty, holiness, and the moral ideals that stem from Platonic thought, providing insights into how these ideas were integrated into the poetic landscape of the time. The opening of the text establishes its critical approach, detailing how Harrison intends to explore Platonism not through the lens of individual poets but as a collective influence on the poetry as a whole. He introduces concepts such as the duality of earthly versus heavenly beauty, discussing how these notions manifest in Spenser's work, particularly through allegorical characters symbolizing virtues like holiness and temperance. As an example, he highlights the character Una from "The Faerie Queene," depicting her as an embodiment of Platonic wisdom and truth. Furthermore, the text comments on how the poets of the time aligned their depictions of love and beauty with Platonic ideals, framing the discussion within a broader cultural and historical context. This scholarly examination serves to illuminate the intricate ways in which philosophy informed poetic expression during a pivotal era in English literature.
