In his day it seemed to his admirers that Donne had changed the literary universe, and he is now widely regarded as the founder of the metaphysical 'school'. Donne's poetry is highly distinctive and individual, adopting a multitude of rhythms, images, forms, and personae, from irresistible seducer to devout believer. His greatness stems from the subtleties and ambivalences of tone that convey his remarkably modern awareness of the instability of the self.
This collection of Donne's verse is chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition of his major works. It includes a wide selection from his secular and divine poems, such as the rebellious and libertine satires and love elegies, the virtuoso Songs and Sonnets, and the desperate, passionate Holy Sonnets. John Carey's introduction and extensive notes provide valuable insights into Donne's poetic genius.

Renaissance wit, holy longing, and erotic tension all tangled up in verse?John Donne?s poetry is as arresting now as it was scandalous then.

Love, death, God, sex?Donne wasn?t afraid to drag them all into the same bed. Our copy? Expect scholarly notes, yellowing pages, and the lingering aroma of someone else?s bookshelf. It?s an edition for readers who like their verse with a bit of edge?and their books with a bit of wear. Crappy Old Books ? Because pristine poetry is for amateurs. Condition as new.
