""Platonism in English Poetry of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries"" is a scholarly work by John Smith Harrison that explores the influence of Platonic philosophy on English poetry during the Renaissance and early modern periods. The book begins with an introduction to the key concepts of Platonism, including the idea of the Forms and the concept of love as a means of achieving spiritual transcendence. Harrison then examines the works of major English poets such as Sir Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, and Andrew Marvell, showing how they incorporated Platonic ideas into their poetry. He also discusses the impact of Platonism on the development of English literary theory and criticism during this time period.

Columbia University. It attempts to explain the nature of the influence of Platonism upon English poetry of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, exclusive of the drama. I ts method is purely critical. It has not attempted to treat the subject from the standpoint of the individual poet, but has tried to interpret the whole body of English poetry of the period under survey as an integral output of the spiritual thought and life of the time. In its interpretation of this body of poetry the essay has aimed to see Platonism in its true historical perspective, as it must have been understood by the poets, either as a system of philosophic thought held consciously in the mind, or as a more intimate possession of the spirit in its outlook upon life.
