The Poetry of John Donne

by John Donne, Gary A Stringer, and Ted-Larry Pebworth

Published 22 December 1995

Based on a study of all known manuscript sources and significant printed editions of Donne's poetry and on an examination of the criticism and scholarship of the past four centuries, this edition presents a newly edited critical text of Donne's poems and a comprehensive variorum commentary. Volume 8, the second published in a projected eight-volume series, presents a heterogeneous collection of poems spanning Donne's entire career as a poet, from epigrams penned in the early 1590s to a one-line Latin epigram written only days before his death.
