This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed
Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank
Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Donne's poetry
and prose - all the major poems, complemented by rarely published
letters and extracts from Donne's sermons - to give the essence of
his work and thinking. John Donne (1572-1631) is today celebrated
as one of the greatest of the metaphysical poets, whose verse was
daringly original and whose use of imagery and conceits marked a
new, intellectual approach to poetry. His Satires, Elegies, and
Songs and Sonnets, which contain his most famous love poems, were
complemented by his religious writing, both verse and prose. He was
one of the most renowned preachers of his day, and this volume does
equal justice to the full range of his work. In addition to nearly
all his English poetry this volume includes over 130 extracts from
Donne's sermons, as well as the full text of his last sermon,
'Death's Duel'. A distinguishing feature of the selection is that
the works are arranged in the chronological order of their
composition. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range 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, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
