Garland for John Donne, 1631-1931

Eight essays by well-known Donne scholars make up this tribute for the three-hundredth anniversary of the death of the great Elizabethan poet and preacher. The appearance of such a volume at the present time is particularly appropriate, for Donne has had more influence than any other Elizabethan on both English and American poetry during the last twenty years, and his personality has fascinated all those who have come in contact with it. The list of contributors is a sufficient guarantee that the volume will not only have an interest to scholars but will also appeal to all who are interested in poetry.
