London : Arcturus, 2019. 235 pages ; 22 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier A central figure of the 17th century metaphysical movement, John Donne is considered one of the greatest poets in the English language. Written nearly 400 years ago, his verse speaks to us as directly and passionately as if the poet were whispering in our ear. His poems are animated by an intoxicating use of metaphor and imagery - see, for example, The Flea or A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning. Reflecting his life story, his work traces a course from romance and erotica through satire to devotional verse. This splendid collection includes songs, sonnets, elegies, epithalamia, satires and devotional poems. 20250916. Donne, John, 1572-1631 poetry. Donne, John, 1572-1631. Poetry. TXKPL
