W 1978 John Donne, Franklin Library Edition

Notes 

Poems by John Donne are celebrated for their intense emotion, intellectual complexity, and striking imagery. Donne's work spans a wide range of themes, from the sacred to the profane, often blending the two in unexpected ways. His Holy Sonnets explore deep spiritual concerns, grappling with mortality, divine love, and redemption. On the other hand, his Love Poems, like "The Flea" and "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," are known for their wit, metaphysical conceits, and exploration of the nature of love and desire. Donne's poetry is marked by its originality, blending personal experience with universal themes, making him one of the most influential poets of the English Renaissance.
