Open Question
Sources identify the Metaphysical poets only by century, as a loose group of 17th-century English poets extending loosely through the Commonwealth period, without stating specific years marking the group's beginning or end.
What would resolve this A literary-historical source anchoring the movement to a specific founding publication (such as a first Donne manuscript circulation) or a closing event, rather than a century-level description.
