Here are such well-known songs and sonnets as "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," "The Extasie," and "A Nocturnall Upon S. Lucies Day," along with the love elegies "Jealosie," "His Parting From Her," and "To His Mistris Going to Bed." Presented as well are Donne's satires, epigrams, verse letters, and holy sonnets, along with his most ambitious and important poems, the Anniversaries. In addition, there is a generous sampling of Donne's prose, including many of his private letters; <i>Ignatius His Conclave,</i> a satiric onslaught on the Jesuits; excerpts from <i>Biathanatos,</i> his celebrated defense of suicide; and his most famous sermons, concluding with the final "Death's Duell." "We have only to read [Donne]," wrote Virginia Woolf, "to submit to the sound of that passionate and penetrating voice, and his figure rises again across the waste of the years more erect, more imperious, more inscrutable than any of his time." 129108 1952 The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne (Modern Library Classics) total:266|5:162|4:70|3:23|2:7|1:4| 266 1177 371 18 134018 0375757341 9780375757341 256 17 4.42 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172031110m/134018.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/134018.The_Complete_Poetry_and_Selected_Prose_of_John_Donne 2 0 false Wed Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 27 23:43:19 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 15 19:23:58 -0700 2008
