(Herbert John Clifford), Sir Grierson, Sir Herbert John Clifford The Poems of John Donne, Volume 2 (of 2) Edited from the Old Editions and Numerous Manuscripts E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Lesley Halamek, Stephen Rowland, "The Poems of John Donne, Volume 2 (of 2)" by John Donne is a collection of poetry written in the early 17th century. This volume delves into the intricacies of Donne's poetic form, particularly focusing on his renowned use of metaphysical wit and complex imagery. The book serves not only as a presentation of his works but also includes extensive introductions and commentary that contextualize Donne's poetry within the literary traditions of his time. The opening of the collection sets a scholarly tone, introducing the reader to the nuanced criticism of Donne's work through a detailed exploration of his poetic wit and its historical significance. The text examines how Donne's metaphysical conceits reflect the transformative shifts in thought during the Renaissance, challenging readers to consider the multifaceted nature of his poetry—ranging from themes of love and desire to reflections on mortality and spiritual matters. It particularly emphasizes the dichotomy between the intellectual and the emotional layers found within his verses, positioning Donne's work as both a product of its time and relevant to contemporary readers.
