Abstract

There are many reasons for calling Thomas a romantic, and in the course of this study an attempt will be made to make these reasons apparent. But if Thomas is a romantic, he is one who has absorbed into his poetry all of the niceties and intricacies of the seventeenth-century metaphysical poets. His poetry, like theirs, abounds in conceits, allusions, and puns—qualities which we do not usually associate with romantic poetry.
