The Oxford Handbook of John Donne presents scholars with the
history of Donne studies and provides tools to orient scholarship
in this field in the twenty-first century and beyond. Though
profoundly historical in its orientation, the Handbook is not a
summary of existing knowledge but a resource that reveals patterns
of literary and historical attention and the new directions that
these patterns enable or obstruct.
Part I -- Research resources in Donne Studies and why they they
matter -- emphasizes the heuristic and practical orientation of the
Handbook, examining prevailing assumptions and reviewing the
specialized scholarly tools available. This section provides a
brief evaluation and description of the scholarly strengths,
shortcomings, and significance of each resource, focusing on a
balanced evaluation of the opportunities and the hazards each
offers.
Part II -- Donne's genres -- begins with an introduction that
explores the significance and differentiation of the numerous
genres in which Donne wrote, including discussion of the problems
posed by his overlapping and bending of genres. Essays trace the
conventions and histories of the genres concered and study the ways
in which Donne's works confirm how and why his "fresh invention"
illustrates his responses to the literary and non-literary contexts
of their composition.
Part III -- Biographical and historical contexts -- creates
perspective on what is known about Donne's life; shows how his life
and writings epitomized and affected important controversial issues
of his day; and brings to bear on Donne studies some of the most
stimulating and creative ideas developed in recent decades by
historians of early modern England.
Part IV -- Problems of literary interpretation that have been
traditionally and generally important in Donne Studies --
introduces students and researchers to major critical debates
affecting the reception of Donne from the 17th through to the 21st
centuries.
