The names Edmund Spenser and John Donne are typically associated
with different ages in English poetry, the former with the
sixteenth century and the Elizabethan Golden Age, the latter with
the 'metaphysical' poets of the seventeenth century. This
collection of essays, part of The Manchester Spenser series, brings
together leading Spenser and Donne scholars to challenge this
dichotomous view and to engage critically with both poets, not only
at the sites of direct allusion, imitation, or parody, but also in
terms of common preoccupations and continuities of thought,
informed by the literary and historical contexts of the politically
and intellectually turbulent turn of the century. Juxtaposing these
two poets, so apparently unlike one another, for comparison rather
than contrast changes our understanding of each poet individually
and moves towards a more holistic, relational view of their
poetics. -- .
