A comprehensive selection of Donne's work, this book contains the poems and excerpts from all his prose writings including private letters, and writing on political, ethical and religious subjects. There are over 130 extracts from the sermons, and the full text of his final sermon, "Death's Duel". In the introduction, John Carey, author of "John Donne: Life, Mind and Art", locates Donne's writing in its turbulent social and historical context.
