John Donne has been one of the most controversial poets in the
history of English literature, his complexity and intellectualism
provoking both praise and censure. In this major re-assessment of
Donne's poetry, Hugh Grady argues that his work can be newly
appreciated in our own era through Walter Benjamin's theory of
baroque allegory. Providing close readings of The Anniversaries,
The Songs and Sonnets, and selected other lyrics, this study
reveals Donne as being immersed in the aesthetic of fragmentation
that define both the baroque and the postmodernist aesthetics of
today. Synthesizing cultural criticism and formalist analysis,
Grady illuminates Donne afresh as a great poet for our own
historical moment.
