Based on an exhaustive study of the manuscripts and printed
editions in which these poems have appeared, the fifth volume in
the series of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne
presents newly edited critical texts of the five canonical satires
and "Metempsychosis" and details the genealogical history of each
accompanied by a thorough prose discussion. The analysis contained
in the volume shows that Donne revised each of the poems and
explains how readings from the competing versions were intermingled
in the early editions and transmitted to subsequent generations.
The volume also presents a comprehensive organized digest of the
critical-scholarly commentary on these poems from Donne s time
through 2001."
