John Donne (1572-1631) is a poet of concerted emotional and
intellectual force, whose strenuously original approach to the
subject matter, diction and form of verse re-made English poetry.
Donne’s poetry combines paradoxical wit, scientific and theological
learning with the rhythms and diction of spoken language. Crises
of love, conscience, and faith are the great concerns of his poetry
which is by turns exalted or disenchanted, direct or oblique,
morally profound or outrageously spiteful.
This edition makes available the whole of Donne’s English poetry,
and includes a new introduction, chronology, notes and up-to-date
bibliography.
