The complete English poems [of] John Donne by
John Donne(
Book
)
92 editions published between 1971 and 2005 in English and held by 1,498 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"'The first poet in the world in some things', is how John Donne was described by his contemporary Ben Jonson. Yet it is only this century that Donne has been indisputably established as a great poet--and even, many feel, the greatest love poet of them all. Jonson went on to remark that 'That Donne, for not keeping of an accent, deserved hanging', yet Donne's rhythms, once thought 'unmusical' are now recognized as the natural rhythms of the speaking voice; his 'eccentricity' as a complex self-doubt; his 'obscurity' the reflection of a brilliantly learned and allusive mind. Poets such as Eliot and Empson have found Donne's poetry profoundly attuned to our modern age, while Yeats' glowing comment will always be true: 'the intricacy and subtlety of his imagination are the length and depth of the furrow made by his passion.'" --Publisher description

The complete poetry of John Donne by
John Donne(
Book
)
21 editions published between 1967 and 1968 in English and held by 933 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"John Donne, Dean of St. Paul's and founder of the metaphysical school of poets, was one of the most important poets of the 17th century. Donne is one of the few poets to be widely read in the 20th century and his influence is apparent in the works of many modern poets. His dislike of convention and romantic love, of the commonplace metaphor and sentiment, and his preference for conceit, wit, and enigmatic phrases engage and delight the reader today as much as they did earlier readers. This edition includes all Donne's poetry: the elegies, the satires, the songs and sonnets, the epigrams, and the divine poems. It also contains the elegies to Donne by his friends, among them Sir Thomas Browne, Isaak Walton, and Ben Johnson. Professor Shawcross has also included glosses, variants, and explanatory notes on points not immediately understandable to modern readers."--Back cover
