description: John Donne's poetry, from ribald to devout, revels in the play of figurative he incorporates scientific and cartographic metaphors into poems of secular devotion; his religious poems use the diction of a ravished lover. This authoritative and comprehensive text is based on the early editions of 1633; detailed notes define unfamiliar words, obscure references and grammatical complexities, reporting the most important variant readings. The appendices contain Pope's version of Donne's "Satyres" II and IV.
