Items related to The Poetry of John Donne (Arcturus Great Poets Library,...
A central figure of the 17th century metaphysical movement, John Donne is considered one of the greatest poets in the English language. Written nearly 400 years ago, his verse speaks to us as directly and passionately as if the poet were whispering in our ear. His poems are animated by an intoxicating use of metaphor and imagery - see, for example, The Flea or A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning. Reflecting his life story, his work traces a course from romance and erotica through satire to devotional verse. This splendid collection includes songs, sonnets, elegies, epithalamia, satires and devotional poems.

From the Author:
Born in 1572 into a family of recusant Catholics, Donne would have grown up with knowledge of the dangers such a background could attract. As an adult, he converted to Anglicanism and never returned to the Catholic faith. After leaving Oxford University, Donne briefly studied law then sailed as a gentleman adventurer. Later he took holy orders and was eventually appointed dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, a position he held until his death in 1631.
