John Donne’s Poetry

Endorsements

“Donald Dickson's John Donne's Poetry is the best text of Donne now available.  It is scrupulously edited, and equally useful for students and for scholars.”
—Harold Bloom, Yale University

“A new anthology of John Donne's poetry is a welcome event, especially this one which reflects the significant texts and commentaries reported in the in-progress Variorum Edition as well as one reprinting important and provocative criticisms for better understanding and discussion of Donne's work. The selection of poems is excellent, generically representative while including those that are well known. The notes are succinct and direct, informative and not interpretive—a most important point, particularly for a volume that will well serve classroom adoption.”
—John T. Shawcross, University of Kentucky
