Description

Explore a fresh perspective on John Donne's work with this scholarly study from Routledge. While many critics since the early twentieth century have offered negative estimates of Donne's Metempsychosis, this book re-evaluates the poem as a vital and energetic part of his canon. Author Siobhan Collins examines Metempsychosis for its inventive portrayal of conflict within identity. The text examines how this verse reflects the Elizabethan fascination with the processes and properties of metamorphosis. By looking at the poem through the lens of literary and scientific cultures of early modernity, this study contests the common view that the work is incomplete. This book is an essential resource for those studying religious history, social and cultural history, and early modern literature. It provides a deep look into how Donne used verse to navigate the complex ideas of his time.
