DESCRIPTION:
An Authoritative Edition for Donne's Marvelous Poetry and Prose John Donne wrote some of the most beautiful, intelligent, and passionate poetry in the English language! With some poets you get 1 or 2 of these qualities: with Donne you get all 3, and so I highly recommend his poetry to all lovers of poetry and English literature. The language is archaic and at times difficult, but that's also some of its beauty and charm. What's more noteworthy but less noticed than the oldness of the language is how fresh and alive it stil. Masterpieces from John Donne and Oxford World's Classics John Donne's poetry, if you have done an extensive reading of it, speaks volumes about cynicism, love, religion, duty, faith, craft and Jacobean times. And if you have read him extensively, you love him, simply put. However, I have an added level to my appreciation and enjoyment: one that I share with some. I teach his works to my intermediary English literature class. Before my students take this course, I can pretty much assume that they had never heard of D. A serious edition. Ricardo Mena Cuevas For anyone interested in entering througha single door into Donne's empire, this bookis as good as any I can think of.You have his poems, selections of prose,sermons.In fine: cheap and very well edited.
