Summary
Janja Ciglar-Žanić: An Ingeniously Created World: Baroque in English Literature
The book is dedicated to the rhetorical and literary-historical classification of Shakespeare's works and the works of his contemporaries known as metaphysical poets. The text offers arguments that lead to the conclusion that we are talking about baroque poets, although the term and concept are not often used in relation to the so-called poetic corruption due to specific reasons explained by the text. The last chapter deals with the analysis of the structural affinities of English and Croatian baroque poetry, which are important for understanding the Croatian early modern period in particular. The book also contains a small anthology of translations of English Baroque poets into Croatian, which were translated for the purposes of the book by prominent Croatian translators Luko Paljetak and Mate Maras.
