This book brings together ten essays on John Donne and George
Herbert composed by an international group of scholars. The volume
represents the first collection of its kind to draw close
connections between these two distinguished early modern thinkers
and poets who are justly coupled because of their personal and
artistic association. The contributors' distinctive new approaches
and insights illuminate a variety of topics and fields while
suggesting new directions that future study of Donne and Herbert
might take. Some chapters explore concrete instances of
collaboration or communication between Donne and Herbert, and
others find fresh ways to contextualize the Donnean and Herbertian
lyric, carefully setting the poetry alongside discourses of
apophatic theology or early modern political theory, while still
others link Herbert's verse to Donne's devotional prose. Several
chapters establish specific theological and aesthetic grounds for
comparison, considering Donne and Herbert's respective positions on
religious assurance, comic sensibility, and virtuosity with poetic
endings.Â
