First Published in 1951, The Monarch of Wit presents John Donne's
poetry in its proper context. The chief purpose of the book is to
enable the reader to approach Donne's poetry without preconceptions
of what 'metaphysical' poetry is or ought to be. Some of the
questions which the author constantly has in mind are these: What
are the main resemblances and differences, on the one hand, between
Donne's poetry and Ben Jonson's, and, on the other hand, between
Donne's poetry and that of poets who are commonly regarded as his
disciples? How much of Donne's poetry may be appropriately
described as "metaphysical", as personal or autobiographical, or as
the expression of what has been called a "unified sensibility"?
This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of English
poetry, English literature, and European literature.
