Relation In Pursuance Of Books John Donne's Poetry

The texts reprinted in this new Norton Critical Edition have been scrupulously edited and are from the Westmoreland manuscript where possible, collated against the most important families of Donne manuscripts the Cambridge Belam, the Dublin Trinity, and the O Flahertie and compared with all seven seventeenth-century printed editions of the poems as well as all major twentieth-century editions.

Criticism is divided into four sections and represents the best criticism and interpretation of Donne s writing: Donne and Metaphysical Poetry includes seven seventeenth-century views by contemporaries of Donne such as Ben Jonson, Thomas Carew, and John Dryden, among others; Satires, Elegies, and Verse Letters includes seven selections that offer social and literary context for and insights into Donne s frequently overlooked early poems; Songs and Sonnets features six analyses of Donne s love poetry; and Holy Sonnets/Divine Poems explores Donne s struggles as a Christian through four authoritative essays.

A Chronology of Donne s life and work, a Selected Bibliography, and an Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.

Read #1Started on July 9, 2012Finished on July 11, 2012Didn't read all of his poetry, but my English class this summer went through a bunch of Donne's stuff and I have to say, he was my one of my favorite poets out of the ones we studied. Holy Sonnet X was probably the one I enjoyed most:"Death, be not proud, though some have called theeMighty and dreadful, for thou are not so;For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrowDie not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.From rest and sleep,

SONG.by John DonneSWEETEST love, I do not go, For weariness of thee,Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me ; But since that IAt the last must part, 'tis best,Thus to use myself in jest By feigned deaths to die.Yesternight the sun went hence, And yet is here to-day ;He hath no desire nor sense, Nor half so short a way ; Then fear not me,But believe that I shall makeSpeedier journeys, since I take More wings and spurs than he.O how feeble is man's power, That if good fortune fall,
