Description

John Donne's Complete English Poems is a landmark collection of poetry that showcases the poet's unique voice and mastery of language. Once considered 'unmusical', Donne's rhythms are now recognized as the natural rhythms of the speaking voice, reflecting his complex self-doubt and brilliantly learned mind. This revised edition, superbly edited by Professor Smith, provides a close guide through the complexities of Donne's poetry, with considerable attention paid to the text and a selection of important manuscript variants. The inclusion of a newly discovered manuscript adds depth and nuance to the collection, making it an essential resource for readers seeking to understand the intricacy and subtlety of Donne's imagination. With its authoritative text and introduction, this edition is a valuable addition to the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
