description: Praise for previous volumes: "This variorum edition will be the basis of all future Donne scholarship." --ChroniqueThis is the 4th volume of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne to appear. This volume presents a newly edited critical text of the Holy Sonnets and a comprehensive digest of the critical-scholarly commentary on them from Donne's time through 1995. The editors identify and print both an earlier and a revised authorial sequence of sonnets, as well as presenting the scribal collection--which contains unique authorial versions of several of the sonnets--inscribed by Donne's friend Rowland Woodward in the Westmoreland manuscript.
