The Poetical Works of John Donne: Metaphysical Love, Sacred Sonnets, Satires, and Devotional Verse of the English Renaissance - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The Poetical Works of John Donne gathers the verse of one of England's most audacious early modern imaginations: songs, elegies, satires, epigrams, the Holy Sonnets, and devotional poems. Its literary style is famously "metaphysical," joining passionate immediacy to intellectual difficulty through startling conceits, dramatic argument, paradox, and compressed wit. Written within the late Elizabethan and Jacobean world, Donne's poetry unsettles Petrarchan convention and courtly polish, turning love, death, faith, and bodily experience into arenas of urgent inquiry. John Donne (1572–1631) lived a life of striking reversals that illuminates the poems' tensions. Born into a Catholic family in Protestant England, educated in law and theology, seasoned by travel, ambition, and political disappointment, he later became an Anglican priest and Dean of St Paul's Cathedral. His clandestine marriage to Anne More, spiritual crises, bereavement, and public vocation all inform the verse's fusion of erotic boldness, religious anxiety, and meditative discipline. This collection is indispensable for readers who value poetry that thinks as intensely as it feels. Donne rewards close attention, offering language at once intimate, learned, unsettling, and profoundly alive.

The Poetical Works of John Donne
Vendeur : Wegmann1855, Zwiesel, Allemagne
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The Poetical Works of John Donne encapsulates the essence of metaphysical poetry, showcasing a collection of the playwright and poet's most significant creations. Donne's adept handling of complex themes such as love, death, and spirituality is illuminated through his innovative use of language, metaphors, and rhythm. His poems defy conventional dichotomies, blending the intellectual with the emotional and the sacred with the profane, thereby providing a rich tapestry that invites analysis and contemplation. Within this volume, readers encounter deeply personal reflections enveloped in intricate structures, illustrating the tensions and harmonies that characterize the human experience. John Donne (1572-1631) stands as a pivotal figure in the English Renaissance, a poet whose diverse background-ranging from his Catholic faith to his experiences in both the court and church-undoubtedly influenced his poetic voice. His tumultuous life, marked by personal loss and the struggles of social mobility, shaped a distinctive perspective that permeates his works. As a cleric and an intellectual, Donne bridged the gap between the scholastic and the poetic, allowing him to explore profound philosophical inquiries within his verse. This collection is essential for both casual readers and scholars alike. Donne's unique ability to intertwine the personal with the universal resonates through centuries, making his work not only relevant but also pivotal in understanding the evolution of English poetry. Those who approach this volume will find themselves immersed in an exploration of existential questions that remain significant today. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028371852
