Metaphysical literature

Metaphysical literature explores fundamental questions about existence, reality, and the nature of being. Originating in the early 17th century, it often delves into topics like the nature of the soul, the relationship between mind and body, and the existence of God. It frequently combines philosophical ideas with poetry, using intricate language and conceits to convey deep thoughts. Prominent figures in this genre include John Donne and George Herbert. Metaphysical literature encourages readers to contemplate life's mysteries, blending the spiritual and intellectual in ways that challenge conventional thinking.
