1991 JOHN DONNE "THE COMPLETE ENGLISH POEMS" EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY HB BOOK (P4)

Great vintage Everyman's Library hardback book from 1991 containing English poems by John Donne. Binding and pages inside are in superb condition especially as the book is 34 years old.

Donne created new forms of lyric, satire, elegiac and religious verse, and his independence of view, compact manner of expression encompassing conflicting moods, impassioned paradox, outbreaks of cynicism and wry humour make his work particularly appealing to the twentieth-century mind. His poetry reflects every stage of his development from the piratical Jack Donne who sailed with Ralegh against the Spaniards and spent riotous nights in the London streets, to the penitent John Donne who became Dean of St Paul's and the most celebrated preacher of his age. C. A. Patrides' edition of Donne's English poems is undoubtedly the most complete and scholarly available.

• OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: 's estimated delivery dates for International ECONOMY are incorrect. They are working to resolve this (allegedly) but estimates are too short. In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking. If you require tracking, select International Tracked option.
