Description

John Donne (1572-1631) is perhaps the most important poet of the seventeenth century, and has often been referred to as the founder of the metaphysical genre. His poetry is highly distinctive and individual, adopting a multitude of tones, images, forms, and personae. This collection of Donne's verse includes a wide selection from both his secular and divine poems, including such well-known poems as Air and Angels, The Flea, the Holy Sonnets, and The Progress of the Soul. The poems are provided with full Notes and a useful Introduction to Donne's life and poetry.

About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

"Formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode; brings together a unique combination of Donne's poetry and prose-- all the major poems, complemented by rarely published letters and extracts from [his] sermons-- to give the essence of his work and thinking"--Back cover.
