A landmark in literary history,

This review is from: Metaphysical Lyrics & Poems of the Seventeenth Century: Donne to Butler (Hardcover)
Grierson 's 1912 essay on the Metaphysicals moved them from being an eccentricity to the center of the Literary Tradition. He saw in their use of rough direct speech, the linking together of images from diverse realms which is the metaphysical conceit, a way of making Poetry which was especially deep, complex and passionate. His understanding of the importance of the Metaphysicals was taken up by TS Eliot and they shortly were appreciated in a more profound way than they had been before.
