The idea
Marlowe's overreacher, Shakespeare's range, Donne's argued images, Milton's epic ambition. They share a syntax, a vocabulary and a taste for elaboration, and they disagree about almost everything else. That combination is what this band actually is.
In practice
A shared manner, separate positions.
Where people slip
They agree on style, not on substance.
