Description

Explore how John Donne's poetry transforms illness and bodily suffering into compelling artistic expression through this scholarly analysis from the Routledge Studies in Literature and Health Humanities series. This academic work examines Donne's distinctive use of medical imagery and disease metaphors, revealing how the Renaissance poet synthesised contemporary medical knowledge with his exploration of human vulnerability, love, and mortality.

Perfect for literary scholars, students of early modern literature, and anyone interested in the intersection of health humanities and poetic language, this volume offers fresh perspectives on one of English literature's most innovative voices.
