John Donne's Poetry: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

â‚¬Å“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.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢Harold Bloom, Yale University
The texts reprinted in this new Norton Critical Edition have been scrupulously edited and are from the Westmoreland manuscript where possible, collated against the most important families of Donne manuscriptsâ‚¬â€¢the Cambridge Belam, the Dublin Trinity, and the Oâ‚¬Flahertieâ‚¬â€¢and compared with all seven seventeenth-century printed editions of the poems as well as all major twentieth-century editions. â‚¬Å“Criticismâ‚¬Â is divided into four sections and represents the best criticism and interpretation of Donneâ‚¬s writing: â‚¬Å“Donne and Metaphysical Poetryâ‚¬Â includes seven seventeenth-century views by contemporaries of Donne such as Ben Jonson, Thomas Carew, and John Dryden, among others; â‚¬Å“Satires, Elegies, and Verse Lettersâ‚¬Â includes seven selections that offer social and literary context for and insights into Donneâ‚¬s frequently overlooked early poems; â‚¬Å“Songs and Sonnetsâ‚¬Â features six analyses of Donneâ‚¬s love poetry; and â‚¬Å“Holy Sonnets/Divine Poemsâ‚¬Â explores Donneâ‚¬s struggles as a Christian through four authoritative essays. A Chronology of Donneâ‚¬s life and work, a Selected Bibliography, and an Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.
