Comparative Essays on the Poetry and Prose of John Donne and George Herbert by Russell M. Hillier,Robert W. Reeder Pdf

This book brings together ten essays on John Donne and George Herbert composed by an international group of scholars. The volume represents the first collection of its kind to draw close connections between these two distinguished early modern thinkers and poets who are justly coupled because of their personal and artistic association. The contributors' distinctive new approaches and insights illuminate a variety of topics and fields while suggesting new directions that future study of Donne and Herbert might take. Some chapters explore concrete instances of collaboration or communication between Donne and Herbert, and others find fresh ways to contextualize the Donnean and Herbertian lyric, carefully setting the poetry alongside discourses of apophatic theology or early modern political theory, while still others link Herbert's verse to Donne's devotional prose. Several chapters establish specific theological and aesthetic grounds for comparison, considering Donne and Herbert's respective positions on religious assurance, comic sensibility, and virtuosity with poetic endings.

Just So Much Honor by Peter Amadeus Fiore Pdf

Not since T. Spencer's A Garland for John Donne was published in the early part of this century has there been a collection of new essays on the poet and his works by some of the world's most perceptive and exemplary scholars. Some of the essays treat Donne's personal life and reputation. Others, dealing with texts and influences, cover the broad spectrum of Donne's works. The remaining essays deal specifically with individual works: the Anniversary Poems, The Good-Morrow, The Extasie, and Aire and Angels. This variety of topics, chosen by the contributors themselves, gives the inquiring scholar a microscopic, yet compounded way to investigate a complex poet. The program of the volume which is deliberately eclectic, suggests the wide range of Donne's own work and interests; the discrete and individual parts presented here give way to a large and comprehensive view of a great poet.

John Donne and the Line of Wit by P. G. Stanwood Pdf

John Donne and the Line of Wit: From Metaphysical to Modernist is a study of influence, adaptation, historical imitation and invention. In his own time, Donne was celebrated for his distinctive style, especially for what his contemporaries recognized as "strong lines," that is, witty conceits or unusual, often unexpected and surprising comparisons. Donne's "metaphysical wit" fell out of fashion in the later seventeenth century, not to be significantly explored and revived until the early twentieth century, and then notably by the modernist movement in the years that followed Eliot's Waste Land (1922).Among the most important - and earliest - of poets and critics to respond to this movement are the self-styled Fugitives of the southern United States. As "fugitives" they stood against what seemed old and shop-worn language, and they gave their name and talent to the literary journal published at Vanderbilt University from 1922-25: The Fugitive provided an outlet for the work of John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, and others, who discovered a "new" modernism that might be shaped out of the "old" metaphysical mode of Donne. Their poetry is characteristically concerned with verbal or "metaphysical" invention, usually composed with metrical formality, and from an objective, detached point of view.

John Donne in the Nineteenth Century by Dayton Haskin Pdf

John Donne was famous in his own time yet was virtually unknown in the eighteenth century. Haskin investigates what happened as Victorian readers, prompted by the enormous popularity of Izaak Walton's biography, began to gradually rediscover the poetry, before showing how Donne came to be seen as the discovery of T. S. Eliot and the modernists.
