Giambattista Marino

Giambattista Marino , 1569-1625, Italian poet. His florid, highly elaborated style, called Marinismo, which was akin to euphuism, was much admired and imitated in his time. He had a strong influence on writing in all European literature. Among his principal works is Adone (1623), a long narrative poem. His name sometimes appears as Marini.

Marino, Giambattista (1569–1625), Neapolitan poet, best known for his Adone (1623), a long poem on the love of Venus and Adonis. The term marinismo (or sometimes secentismo) denotes the flamboyant style of Marino and his 17th-cent. imitators, with its extravagant imagery, excessive ornamentation, and verbal conceits. Crashaw was profoundly influenced by Marino.
