4.9/5 (23648 ratings)

Description: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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
