«John Donne» is a poetry anthology by John Donne selected by D. J. Enright, published by Everyman Paperbacks in paperback (128 pages, in English).
This anthology brings together John Donne's seductive love poetry alongside his sacred sonnets: desire, devotion, and the tension between the carnal and the spiritual coexist in verses of great intensity. The work includes «The Flea», «The Good Morrow», and «The Sun Rising», where wit blends metaphors of the body, science, and discovery.
This edition is part of the Everyman's Poetry collection. John Donne's poetry was originally published in 1633.
An anthology aimed at readers of classic poetry and those interested in seventeenth-century English literature.
John Donne was an English poet, scholar, soldier and secretary born into a recusant family, who later became a cleric in the Church of England. Under royal patronage, he was made Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London (1621–1631). He is considered the preeminent representative of the metaphysical poets. His poetical works are noted for their metaphorical and sensual style and include sonnets, love poems, religious poems, Latin translations, epigrams, elegies, songs and satires. He is also known for his sermons.
