Summary
A new selection of John Donne’s endlessly innovative and fascinating verse, from the witty conceit of ‘The Flea’ to the intense spirituality of his divine poems.
Regarded by many as the greatest of the Metaphysical poets, John Donne (1572-1631) was also among the most intriguing figures of the Elizabethan age. A sensualist who composed erotic and playful love poetry in his youth, he was raised a Catholic but later became one of the most admired Protestant preachers of his time.
