At times though often on the continent than in England it stands a period allusion to post-renaissance literature. Quite often it is used to specify the "eloborate verses and the extravagant conceits" of the late sixteenth and early sevevteenth century poets Giambatista Marino in Italy and Luis de Gongora in Spain. With reference to English literature, the poms of John donne are at times reffered to as "baroque".It is more specifically referred to the ornate style and fantastic conceits of Richard Crashaw, not to speak of his religious emotionalism.
