Rate 0.0 /5

Guibbory collects here her most important and frequently cited essays on Donne, which, taken together, present her distinctive and evolving vision of the poet. Combining previously published work with an original and substantive introduction and three new essays, the author illuminates Donne's understanding that erotic, spiritual and political issues are often intertwined, and reveals how this understanding resonates in our own times.
