description: 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 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. Though these poems have received little critical attention, many are of considerable interest, and they present a number of fascinating textual problems that reveal much about Donne's practice of his craft as a poet.
