Synopsis

In this critical study, Ernest W. Sullivan II, catalogues and analyses the significance of John Donne's verse - and its translations and adaptations, and the dubia - published in the 17th century outside the seven collected editions of his "Poems". Sullivan provides evidence to confirm the very great influence that literary historians and critics have always accorded Donne; he also demonstrates that Donne's influence began earlier, lasted much longer, and reached a far larger and more diverse audience than anyone has suspected. The significance of the uncollected verse for Donne's canon, chronology, texts, audience and influence in the development of literature and culture in the 17th century is examined in the introduction. The book continues with a full bibliographical description of every printed work containing the uncollected verse and a listing of all Donne verse in each version of the work. A chronology and indexes identify the printing of every verse, date each printing of every work, and list the authors and titles of every printed work containing uncollected Donne verse so that the reader can see Donne's over-all presence in print as well as easily investigate its particulars. This work, which should be valuable to any critic or student of the works of John Donne, may prompt revision in a number of areas of Donne studies.
