This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode.

His Satires, Elegies, and Songs and Sonnets, which contain his most famous love poems,were complemented by his religious writing, both verse and prose. He was one of the most renowned preachers of his day, and this volume does equal justice to the full range of his work. In addition to nearly all his English poetry this volume includes over 130 extracts from Donne's sermons, aswell as the full text of his last sermon, 'Death's Duel'. A distinguishing feature of the selection is that the works are arranged in the chronological order of their composition.… (más)
English poetry would be poorer were it not for John Donne. His poetry leads you into all sorts of directions. His prose makes you think very hard about your place in society and in the world. ( )

John Donne was a new kind of poet. - Introduction by John Carey
All hail, sweet poet, more full of more strong fire, / Than hath or shall enkindle any spirit, / I loved what nature gave thee, but this merit / Of wit and art I love not but admire; / Who have before or shall write after thee, / Their works, though toughly laboured, will be / Like infancy or age to man's firm stay, / Or early and late twilights to midday.

There we leave you in that blessed dependency, to hang upon him that hangs upon the cross, there bathe in his tears, there suck at his wounds, and lie down in peace in his grave, till he vouchsafe you a resurrection, and an ascension into that kingdom which he hath purchased for you with the inestimable price of his incorruptible blood. Amen.
